Then, Tate played the first musical selection ever broadcast on WCGQ, Revolution, recorded by the British pop band, The Beatles.
This "left-field" strategy was apparently by-design, in order to give WCGQ the initial veneer of being an "underground" FM station.
In April, 1974, due to a business dispute between WCGQ management and David Tate's employer, Bill Parris Programming of Washington, DC, Tate was ordered to withdraw prematurely from the 107-Q project and Kris Earl Phillips actually guided 107-Q as Program Director through its first ratings period.
Curiously, the WCGQ "listener request line" telephone number still refers to its original FCC-allocated operating frequency, 107.7 mHz: (706) 322-1077.
