102.1 FM in Springfield, Massachusetts signed on as WCRX in 1953. The call letters stood for "Charles River Broadcasting extension," the station being a sister and extension of 102.5 FM WCRB in Boston, Massachusetts. Both the Springfield, Massachusetts and Boston, Massachusetts stations programmed a classical music radio format overseen by Charles River Broadcasting owner Theodore Jones. In the mid 1970s, WAQY broadcast modern rock (Styx, Jethro Tull, Kansas, etc.) with song titles every third song and no on the air DJ. August 1981, WAQY switched to a Rock music format known as AOR. Now known simply as Rock 102.
