History

When the station signed on Memorial Day Weekend of 1991 as WPHD, the station was on 93.3 MHz and was rebroadcasting its sister station at the time, WKGB-FM, Conklin, New York.

In September 1991, WPHD switched to 94.7 MHz. In April 1992, the station began a progressive separation from its sister, WKGB-FM. During 1994, WPHD ran the ABC Classic Rock format. From January 1, 1995 to May 1, 1995, WPHD simulcast FM station WZMT, Hazleton, Pennsylvania, which at the time was called The Mountain, airing a mainstream rock format leaning towards classic rock.

From May 1, 1995 until early 1996, WPHD simulcast WCDW, Susquehanna, Pennsylvania, which at the time aired a classic hits format leaning heavily on rock songs from the 1970s and 1980s. From early 1996 to July 3, 2020, WPHD aired its own classic rock format; in 2003, it changed its call sign to WMTT to reflect its "Met" branding.

On June 25, 2020, WMTT changed its call sign to WQBF, and then on July 3, 2020 flipped to country as part of a five-station format swap, where 94.7's former classic rock format and WMTT call sign moved to 820/101.3 and 100.9, while 100.9's former country format moved to 94.7, WCBF (96.1 FM), and WOBF (97.1 FM) as "Bigfoot Country".^[2]

In July 2021, WQBF changed its call sign to WMTT-FM and returned to the "Met" classic rock format, as part of a simulcast with WENI-FM (92.7) in South Waverly.^[3]
