WTQR (104.1 FM, "Q104.1") is a country music station licensed to Winston-Salem, North Carolina and serves the Piedmont Triad region, including Greensboro and High Point.

WSJS-FM began broadcasting December 1, 1947, on 104.1 MHz with full effective radiated power of 48 KW.

[3] WSJS-FM played classical and semi-classical music after the owners of WAAA purchased WYFS,[4] and offered an easy listening format until 1974[citation needed].

[16] In March 1998, Big Paul and Aunt Eloise began airing their show on WSOC-FM in Charlotte, North Carolina.

[21] Despite critical accolades, "Jeff Roper In The Morning" ratings in key demographics began to deteriorate.

[23] Later in 1994, Radio Equity Partners also bought WNEU, switching that station from country to modern rock.

[32] WTQR finally lost its top position (to WJMH) among all listeners in Fall 1998, for the first time since Greensboro, High Point and Winston-Salem became one market in the 1970s.

[35] On August 5, 2011 at exactly 1:04 PM EDT, WTQR relaunched as Q104.1, with the commitment to play more contemporary country music.

[36] Changes included [37] Angie Ward as the lone holdover after the relaunch, moving from mornings to midday.

By February 2012 WTQR had climbed into a virtual dead heat with WPAW for the country crown among adults P25-54.
