The 107.1 frequency signed on in June 1967 as a Country music station with the call letters WXQL-FM. Its original owner was Harry Barker, who already owned WBZA-AM, a daytime station that broadcast on 1410 kHz. The station was originally licensed to Glens Falls, NY and was the local market's first FM station. Both stations were later sold to Soundcasters, Inc. Later, the calls were changed to WBZA-FM, in the early '70s, when it simulcasted Top 40 WBZA-AM 1410, but went back to Country during the evening hours after WBZA's sunset sign off in those days, since 1410 was originally a daytimer. Eventually WBZA-FM, completely separated its programming from WBZA-AM, and programmed Beautiful music full-time for a few years in the mid-1970s. Throughout the rest of the 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s, the station generally did a variation of what would now be considered Hot Adult Contemporary. After WBZA-FM, numerous call letters appeared on 107.1 including WNIQ from 1979 to 1986, WAYI from 1986 to 1993, and WMJR from 1993 to 1996. In 1996, it flipped to Top 40 as WHTR , licensed to Hudson Falls and owned by Bradmark Communications, owner of several other stations in the market. At its outset, the station had a locally run Top 40 going against several out-of-market stations. WHTR's most famous alumni of this period was a young Joe Rosati, now better known as "Joey Kidd" of WHTZ to Pamal Broadcasting. Pamal decided to celebrate the purchase, in some way, by giving WFFG an Albany market simulcast when that market's 104.9 WZMR began to simulcast WFFG in February 2005. Though Pamal had hoped that the simulcast would push WGNA down enough to make their WYJB #1 in the market, instead WFFG's Albany market numbers declined and in January 2006 WZMR flipped to active rock. WZMR would later revisit a country music format four years later, dumping its Edge format as 104.9 The Cat. In October 2013, the country format on WZMR moved to WKLI which was on both stations until December when WZMR began playing adult album alternative music as 104.9 The Peak. On December 27, 2013, WFFG's sister station WKBE and its Modern AC/AAA format moved to the WFFG frequency becoming "107.1 The Point, Today's Modern Mix" with a similar sound to WZMR, and WKBE switched to a country music format as Froggy 100.3, swapping call letters in the process. On January 6, 2016 WKBE changed their format to top 40/CHR, still branded as "107.1 The Point", but under the slogan "Hit Music Now".
