WQBR (99.9/92.7 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a Country/Americana music format. Licensed to Avis, Pennsylvania, United States, the station serves the Williamsport/Lock Haven/State College area, airing over substantial areas of Clinton, Lycoming and Centre Counties in Central Pennsylvania. Before the State College Arbitron ratings no longer were unavailable, the Bear was the only station that showed in both books. The area between Williamsport and State College is the defining line between the influence of Pittsburgh to the west, and Philadelphia to the east; no station had ever bridged those markets.

The station is currently owned by Maximum Impact Communications, Inc. and features news programming from AP Radio, some satellite music programming from the Hot Country channel from Dial-Global Radio Network, and over 26 hours a week of local Americana music programming.^[2]^[3]

History

The station went on the air as WHUM on October 19, 1990. On January 6, 1993, the station changed its call sign to WDKK. On October 26, 1993, it changed to the current WQBR.^[4]
