History	Originating as broadcasting pioneer John V.L. Hogan's experimental television station W2XR in 1929, the station began broadcasting classical music in 1933 at a frequency of 1550kc. The call letters were changed to WQXR in 1936, and the station moved to its present frequency in 1941. WQXR was purchased by the New York Times in 1944. Call letters changed to WQEW on December 2, 1992, when an Adult Standards format was adopted. The New York Times announced on December 1, 1998 that it had agreed to lease all of WQEW's airtime to ABC for an eight-year period, beginning on January 1, 1999, to permit ABC to broadcast its Radio Disney format on the station. The Radio Disney format was introduced on December 28, 1998.
