WSRQ-FM (106.9 MHz) is a 5,000 watt radio station, located in the Florida Heartland. The station is licensed to the city of Zolfo Springs, in rural Hardee County. Its coverage area includes Hardee, DeSoto, and Highlands counties, serving the communities of Wauchula, Zolfo Springs, Arcadia, Sebring, Avon Park, and Lake Placid. Its studio facilities are near downtown Sarasota.
Since July 2005, listeners have known the station as 106.9 The Bull featuring a blend of today's best new country and all-time favorites, then La Numero 1, a Spanish language music format, until Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, Inc., which has a campus in Bradenton near Sarasota, purchased it and now simulcasts the SRQ oldies format.
Canada Calling, hosted by Prior Smith, was aired Mon-Sat at 10a from 1996.
