New Orleans, Biloxi, Mobile FM 1979

Sorry for listing the wrong link, that was my edit link to the video. Thanks to the poster for the post of the correct link.
 
Obviously one of them was WQUE Q-93 (93.3) New Orleans. Interesting item about this station. When it was sold separately from WDSU TV around 1973, it changed from WDSU FM to WQUE. It was beautiful music. A few years later, it went automated Top 40 using the TM StereoRock format, and kept the call letters. Then it went live top 40, still keeping the same calls. Later on, it went Urban Contemp, and still kept the WQUE calls. Stations today tend to change call letters frequently; it is interesting that 93.3 has stayed with the same calls thru several formats over a period of nearly 40 years.

Which proves what we have all known for years. Some station management and ownership were just too cheap to spend the money for a call sign change! :D
 
The first station was G-100 (99.9 WKRG-FM Mobile). The second station was 93.7 WQID Biloxi. The DJ sounds like Don Silver, but I'm not 100% sure. The third station was obviously 93.3 WQUE New Orleans. Not sure where the religious programming came from.

The QID one is Don Silver. I worked with him at Q. He left to sell Amway. Last I saw him he was managing a drugstore. That was many years ago.
