From 2009 until April 2, 2012, WQTL aired an oldies/classic hits format as "Q106.1." On April 2, WQTL's oldies format was dropped and the station began stunting with music by The Beatles. A new format was to launch sometime soon.[2] On April 17, 2012, WQTL ended stunting and launched a classic rock/AAA format, branded as "106.1 The Path".

On July 31, 2015, WQTL rebranded as "106.1 The Sound".[3]

On April 11, 2018, WQTL changed their format from classic rock/AAA to oldies, branded as "Kool Oldies 106.1".[4]

On December 26, 2023, at approximately 10:50 a.m., after playing "The Load-Out" by Jackson Browne, the station began stunting with the Nintendo Wii menu music. At 12 noon, the station flipped to rhythmic adult contemporary as "Vibe 106.1"; the first song under the format was "Hypnotize" by The Notorious B.I.G.[5]
