 In April 1987, Sky Broadcasting bought WCZY (the AM would be sold to Satellite Radio Network); in turn, Broadcasting Partners bought the station two years later.Despite Z95.5's high ratings, the station still wanted to attract more older listeners in the hope of attracting more advertising dollars, and so on July 20, 1989, WCZY changed its calls and moniker to WKQI, "Q95," dropped hard rock and rap product from its playlist, and added more gold from the 1970s and 1980s.Detroit based AC radio consultant Gary Berkowitz was the original Q95 program director, which also included (in addition to Dick Purtan) air personalities Kevin O'Neill and Michael Waite (formerly of rival WHYT).
