WQAH-FM (105.7 FM) is a classic country, bluegrass, and gospel music-formatted radio station licensed to Addison, Alabama, that serves Decatur, Alabama, and the western portion of the Huntsville, Alabama, market.[2] The station is owned by Abercrombie Broadcasting Company. WQAH's transmitter is located west of Battleground, Alabama.
The station has held the current WQAH-FM call letters as assigned by the Federal Communications Commission since September 7, 2001.[3] Before this it was known by the WYAM-FM call sign from October 25, 1996, to August 31, 2001. During the six-day gap between these call signs this station was simply WQAH until a co-owned AM station was flipped from WJRA to WQAH on September 7, 2001.[1]
