WQSE - encyclopedia article about WQSE.

WQSE is a 1,000 watt class B clear channel AM radio station licensed to White Bluff, Tennessee on a frequency of 1030 kHz. The station's power is reduced to 250 watts during nighttime oeprations but the station broadcasts on a continuous basis 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The station is owned by Canaan Communications.

The station signed on in 1982 as WBDX and broadcast in a traditional community-oriented format with local sports and general-interest community programming. Due to the very limited size of the White Bluff market, most advertising was from the larger, adjoining Dickson market.

Achieving very limited success, the station was sold to Hudson Broadcasting, which simultaneously was operating Channel 39 television in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. As this station was known as WHTN (for Hudson Television Nashville), the radio station was rebranded WHRD (for Hudson Radio Dickson). Hudson ran into severe financial difficulties and was forced to sell his broadcasting interests; new management bought the station and returned the callsign to WBDX and turned to a more contemporary format.

This venture met with limited success as well. Studios were moved from the transmitter to a location on State Route 47 just north of downtown White Bluff, and then to a large glass booth in Dickson near the corner of U.S. Route 70 and State Route 46. During this period the callsign was again changed, this time to WJKZ and the format switched to country music, using the moniker KZ Country, which had been used previously at various stations in the Nashville market. A serious effort was made during this period to position the station as a factor in the western portion of the Nashville market, particularly Bellevue, a fairly-affluent and developed Nashville suburb less than 20 airlne miles (34 km) to the east and into which the station's signal almost always reached very reliably. Broadcasting was eventually interrupted by a fire at the transmitter location where the studios had returned. The station was dark for several months and then, in late 1994, returned to the airwaves under new management and ownership and a Southern gospel format which is the one currently broadcast. The callsign was changed again to the current one, which reflected a short-lived link to WQSV in Ashland City, Tennessee. The station was also linked at one time to WPHC in Waverly, Tennessee and under the same management and ownership; WQSE management has subsequently sold WPHC.

The station has a larger-than-typical signal pattern for a 1,000 watt station due to its large antenna array.
