On September 26, 2025, at 10 a.m., after signing off the "Vibe" format with “Changes” by Tupac Shakur, WQTL began stunting again, running the entire Taylor Swift library as "WQ-Tay-L", doing so ahead of the release of her album and concert film The Life of a Showgirl the following week. The "Vibe" format had completely failed in the Nielsen Audio market ratings, with a pitiful 0.4 ratings in the Spring 2025 books (during the format’s entire existence, the station never surpassed a 1 share (12+) of the market). On October 1, WQTL switched to classic rock as "Q106".https://news.radio-online.com/articles/n47926/Adams-Launches-Classic-Rock-Q106-in-Tallahassee
