Lisa Rodman and Music Director Jay Towers took over programming operations. By late 1996, the station had added a full lineup of personalities, including Marc Mitchell, Sharon Santoni and Trixie DeLuxxe in mornings, Jay Towers in middays, Lisa Lisa Orlando in afternoons, Mark "JoJo" Allen on evenings, and Michael Allen on overnights. By January 1997, a lite mix of pop-friendly R&B and hip-hop music was also adopted to further cement the station's mainstream hook. With this being the first time a Top 40/dance music station had been on Detroit radio since the reformatting of WHYT two years earlier, WDRQ immediately attracted a large listening audience upon its re-launch. Subsequently, the station quickly abandoned the female-skewing format and promoted itself as a dance music station. Top 40 (1999-2005) By April 1999, the station had evolved into more of a mainstream Top 40 format and was eating away at its adult-leaning Top 40 competitor WKQI. The lineup became Jay Towers in the morning, Jamie Reese and Dave Fuller middays, Lisa Lisa in the afternoon, Tic Tak (Mark Allen) at night, and Eric Chase on overnights. By the final quarter of 2001, both WDRQ and WKQI were leaning very heavily toward Rhythmic CHR. For a time, WDRQ consistently defeated WKQI in the ratings, but after Clear Channel re-launched WKQI as Channel 9-5-5 in February 2002, WKQI retook the lead over WDRQ, garnering both larger ratings and revenue. As WKQI became increasingly rhythmic, WDRQ backed away somewhat from its own rhythmic lean, adding more Adult Top 40 songs and 1990s gold from the likes of Alanis Morissette and Third Eye Blind. Adult hits (2005-2013) At 1 p.m. on April 1, 2005, after playing "She Will Be Loved" by Maroon 5, WDRQ abruptly changed formats to adult hits, branded as "93.1 Doug FM"; the first song on "Doug" was "Good Times Roll" by The Cars. Many DRQ listeners were both confused and disgruntled over the format change. ABC sold its non-Radio Disney and ESPN Radio stations, including WDRQ, to Citadel Broadcasting in 2007. Citadel merged with Cumulus Media on September 16, 2011. Country (2013-present) By November 2013, WDRQ had languished, ranking 18th in Nielsen Audio ratings for the Detroit market with a 2.5 share. On December 13, 2013 at 9:31 AM, after playing "Someday" by Sugar Ray, WDRQ flipped to country music as Nash FM 93.1, soft launching with Christmas music primarily by country artists
