WBXQ (station identifier: 'Q94') was a radio station broadcasting a Classic Rock format. Licensed to the suburb of Patton, Pennsylvania, it serves the Altoona, Pennsylvania metropolitan area.
WBXQ first signed on the air in November 1981 as WRKE on 94.7 FM, founded by legendary Pittsburgh broadcaster Ed Sherlock and his business partner Neil Hart, who formed Sherlock-Hart Broadcasting the year before. The station's licensee, however, was listed as Sounds Good, Inc. In addition to owning WBXQ, both men owned WAMQ (now WWGE) in Loretto, which programmed a format of contemporary country music.
WBRX 94.3 FM and WBXQ 94.7 FM swapped calls, retaining their classic rock simulcast, on April 27, 2007. On June 28, 2007, the WBRX and WBXQ call signs were officially swapped on 94.3 and 94.7 FM.
On October 22, 2007 WBRX split from the Q94 classic rock simulcast and switched to an adult contemporary format branded as 'Mix 94.7'. On April 15, 2009 WBXQ changed their format to country, branded as 'True Country 94.3'.
