WIQR (1410 AM) was a radio station formerly licensed to serve Prattville, Alabama, United States. The station was owned by Star Power Communications Corporation and served the Montgomery, Alabama, area.[2]

It once aired Spanish sports radio format and featured programming from ESPN Deportes Radio.[3] In 2015 this station was doing classic Soul and R&B tunes. As of December 2015, this station went silent.

The station was most recently reassigned the WIQR call letters by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on December 5, 1996.[1] The station can be heard as far east as Atlanta.

The station's license was cancelled on March 12, 2019, due to WIQR having been silent since at least June 3, 2016.
