WAXQ (1993–present)
On December 18, 1993, at midnight, WNCN signed off for good. The last selection was Joseph Haydn's Symphony No. 45 (also known as the "Farewell Symphony"). A farewell message came from station president and general manager Randy Bongarten. After stunting with a nearly 12-minute loop of a ticking clock and construction sound effects, the station debuted a new, current-based, hard-edged album-oriented rock (AOR) format, along with new call letters WAXQ and the branding "Q104.3". The station launched with an "AC/DC A-to-Z" playlist; accordingly, the first song under the new format was the group's "Ain't No Fun (Waiting Round To Be A Millionaire)".
