WIQT served as the headquarters of a flood-emergency network during the Hurricane Agnes flood of June 22 and 23, 1972, under the direction of chief engineer C. Michael Scullin and program director David G. Ridenour.
A U.S. Army communications command post was set up in their studios, and a CB radio network node as well, for use by civil authorities.
Sabre Communications, which owned WCLI and Wink 106, entered into a limited marketing agreement to manage WIQT and WQIX late in 1994.
It bought the stations several months later, enabling Sabre to move popular talk shows from WCLI to the more powerful WIQT.
Backyard sold all of its New York assets to Community Broadcasters, LLC effective August 26, 2013, at a price of $3.6 million.
On January 13, 2020, WWLZ dropped the talk format to simulcast classic rock-formatted WMTT (94.7 FM), which was in the process of being sold to Seven Mountains Media.
[5] When Seven Mountains Media announced it would acquire the New York assets of its primary rival Waypoint Media, WMTT was included among the licenses that would be donated to Family Life Network, along with WGGO in Salamanca, New York; as Family Life does not operate AM stations, has historically declined to purchase such stations (it declined to purchase WBVG or WFBL when involved in a similar swap in 2015), and initially did not apply to change the station's call sign, the fate of WGGO after the swap was unknown, with industry speculation that WMTT and WGGO might go silent.
As Seven Mountains Media retained rights to the WMTT call sign (which moved back to 94.7), Family Life changed the call sign to WPGO, matching that of WGGO (but not those of the other Family Life FM stations, all of which start with WCG, WCI or WCO).
In addition to the main station broadcasting at 820 kHz, the programming was, prior to 2021, relayed on FM translator W267CJ at 101.3 in Horseheads.
