01History
WSLB began broadcasting in 1940 as the Mutual Broadcasting System affiliate in Ogdensburg. The station switched to NBC Radio in the early 1990s when it entered into a three-way simulcast with sister stations WIGS (1230) and WGIX-FM (95.3) in Gouverneur with an oldies format as "FSR -- Full-Service Radio". WIGS went off the air permanently in the mid-1990s and the two remaining stations simulcast until WSLB took a conservative talk format as "Talk 1400". In 2006, the station picked up the ESPN Radio affiliation on weekends before going full-time beginning Saturday, December 1, 2007, dropping its talk format. On December 3, 2007, WQTK began running a similar talk format to the one that had once aired on WSLB.
