WQZQ (830 AM) is a radio station licensed to Goodlettsville, Tennessee, and serving the Nashville metropolitan area.[2] The station is owned by Cromwell Radio Group, through licensee WYCQ, Inc.[3] It airs a sports radio format, calling itself "94.9 The Fan", which refers to FM translator, W235BW in Nashville, which broadcasts at 94.9 MHz, relayed by WBUZ-HD3 at 102.9 in La Vergne.[4]

WQZQ transmits 2,000 watts by day but because 830 AM is a clear channel frequency, WQZQ must greatly reduce power to 3 watts at night to protect Class A station WCCO in Minneapolis. The FM translator and repeater stations operate 24 hours a day. WQZQ's offices and studios are on Murfreesboro Pike in Nashville and its transmitter is located off Nesbitt Lane in Nashville.[5]
