[3] In 1996, the station began simulcasting on WBYA (101.7 FM, now WKVV) in Searsport, which brought its programming to the Bangor area.

[4] Mariner Broadcasting bought WAVX in 1998[5] and made it a part of its WBACH network of classical stations under the call letters WBQX.

Prior to the conclusion of the auction, the Maine Public Broadcasting Network expressed interest in running the WBACH stations.

[8] As part of the bankruptcy proceeding, WBQX, along with 29 other Nassau-owned northern New England radio stations, went to a partnership of WBIN-TV owner Bill Binnie and Jeff Shapiro; 17 of the stations, including WBQX, were acquired by Binnie's WBIN Media Company.

On August 7, 2012, WBQX was granted a construction permit to increase their ERP to 30,000 watts and to raise their height above sea level up to 232 meters (761 feet).
