The station is owned by Townsquare Media, and simulcasts a classic rock radio format with co-owned 103.5 WQSH in Cobleskill.

In morning drive time, WQBK-FM carries the syndicated Free Beer and Hot Wings Show.

WQBK-FM has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 7,100 watts.It broadcasts using HD Radio technology, with its HD2 digital subchannel carrying an urban contemporary format branded "Hot 99.1," which feeds 250-watt FM translator W256BU on 99.1 MHz.

After the passage of Federal Communications Commission Docket 80–90 in 1983, several broadcasters considered putting a new FM station in the Glens Falls-Lake George region.

Around 1990, WENU owner Donald Heckman successfully petitioned the FCC to grant a 25,000-watt radio station to his hometown of Queensbury.

In 2000, Bradmark Communications was sold to Vox Media, a growing owner of radio stations in small markets throughout New York and New England.

Vox ended all satellite programming and decided to take WNYQ to a Hot AC approach, initially keeping the Wink 105.7 name.

In December 2004, WNYQ flipped to a satellite-fed Classic Hits format while keeping the Q105.7 name, as Vox prepared for the station's relocation.

Originally, the station had an FCC construction permit with a lease to broadcast from the Clifton Park tower used by WDCD-FM, WKKF, and WTMM-FM.

This plan was slowed down by regulatory concerns with Pamal's revenue share in the adjacent Capital District and the potential that the signal that would have been sold if purchased (WZMR) would not able to find new ownership in the required amount of time.

After some delays, the station finally returned to the air from the Bald Mountain tower site on November 28, 2006, initially simulcasting WABT.

"[6] On March 16, 2018, at 5 pm, after playing "Dancing in the Dark" by Bruce Springsteen, WQSH began stunting with Irish bands as "Shamrock 105.7."
