    WESP (102.5 FM, "The Q") is a radio station broadcasting a classic hits music format.[1] Licensed to Dothan, Alabama, United States, the station serves the Wiregrass Region. The station is currently owned by Robert Holladay and licensed to Alabama Media, LLC.[2]

    History[edit]

    The station's original construction permit was granted by the Federal Communications Commission on June 23, 1989.[3] The station was assigned the WESP call letters on June 3, 1989.[4] WESP received its license to cover on August 27, 1990.[5]

    In June 1998, Broadcast Associates reached an agreement to sell WESP to Signal Enterprises, Inc.[6] The FCC approved the deal on June 29, 1998, and the transaction was consummated on July 15, 1998.[6]

    In December 1998, Signal Enterprises reached an agreement to sell WESP to Gulf South Communications, Inc.[7] The deal was valued at a reported $1.4 million.[8] The FCC approved the deal on March 8, 1999, and the transaction was consummated on March 29, 1999.[7]

    In November 2011, the station was sold to Georgia Edminston's Southeast Alabama Broadcasters, LLC. Edminston, in turn, sold the station to Robert Holladay's Alabama Media, LLC effective December 5, 2012, at a purchase price of $1.2 million.

    In November 2012, WESP rebranded from "102.5 The Eagle" to "Retro Radio Q102". In December 2012 WESP rebranded to "102.5 The Q".
