Broadcasters and Publishers, Inc., received the construction permit for a new FM radio station in Meridian. When WDAL-FM hit the air in February 1968, it was the 24-hour counterpart to 1330 WDAL, simulcasting its country format during the day and airing contemporary music at night.[2] The -FM suffix was dropped in 1976, and the station became WJDQ for the first time in 1979 and flipped to a Top 40/CHR station as "Q101". The station remained as a CHR format throughout the next three-and-a-half decades.
In 2006, WJDQ dropped its CHR format and became WMSO as "Miss 101" with a country format. On September 9, 2011, WMSO dropped its country format, flipped back to CHR, and returned back to its "Q101" branding.[3] On October 7, 2011, WMSO changed their call letters back to WJDQ, which had previously been on the 95.1 frequency (now WJXM) in the intervening five years.
