WRNQ (92.1 FM "Q92") is a commercial radio station licensed to Poughkeepsie, New York and serving the Mid-Hudson Valley of New York state. The station is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. and broadcasts an adult contemporary radio format, switching to Christmas music for much of November and December.
WRNQ has an effective radiated power of 520 watts, transmitting from the Illinois Mountain master tower in Highland, New York to which it moved in 2000. Unlike other Class A stations on that tower, WRNQ's signal is directional to protect first adjacents 92.3 WINS-FM in New York City and 92.3 WFLY in Troy, New York.
