On January 31, 1984, the station's call letters were changed to WQQK, and the well-known "92Q" branding was relaunched while retraining the urban contemporary format.
Around this time, Phoenix Broadcasting moved WQQK's studios to then-sister station WVOL's facilities, located just north of Downtown Nashville.
On August 8, 1997, Phoenix of Hendersonville, Inc, and WQQK were transferred from Samuel H. Howard to Dickey Brothers Broadcasting Corporation LLC, per FCC records.
On September 16, 2011, two of WQQK's sister stations, WRQQ and WNFN, were placed into an independent trust (Volt Radio, LLC) while Cumulus sought a buyer.
While facing direct competition from WUBT, WQQK consistently garners one of the highest Arbitron ratings in the market despite broadcasting with only 3,500 watts of power.
