About Us

Since officially launching its Top 40 format as Q105 on December 13, 1973, WRBQ-FM has been a dominant presence on the Tampa Bay radio dial. Known for its energetic and innovative programming, Q105 quickly became a listener favorite and built a legacy that has spanned five decades. 

Q105 rose to prominence with the pioneering Q Morning Zoo in the early 1980s. This groundbreaking morning show became a model for morning radio nationwide, blending humor, parody, and personality-driven segments with hit music, ultimately cementing Q105’s place in radio history. 

Over the years, the station evolved into a classic hits format, focusing on timeless rock and pop favorites from the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s. Throughout all its transitions, Q105 has remained deeply rooted in the Tampa Bay community, maintaining strong local engagement through live events, charity drives, and listener interaction. 

Today, Q105 continues its commitment to excellence with dynamic live shows such as The MJ Morning Show and on-air personalities who keep the station relevant and entertaining. Owned by Beasley Broadcast Group, Q105 honors its rich history while embracing the future of radio with fresh energy and new content for Tampa’s loyal audience.
