WAQQ (88.3 FM) was a radio station that broadcast an adult standards format. Licensed to Onsted, Michigan, United States, the station was owned by Great Lakes Community Broadcasting, Inc.,[2] and operated by the Society for Accurate Information Distribution (SAID) Foundation.

The station was assigned these call letters by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) since November 10, 2005.[1]

On June 13, 2012, the FCC announced that all licenses associated with Great Lakes Community Broadcasting, including WAQQ, had been cancelled, due to false claims that the group had built a series of stations and repeaters. With this cancellation order, the FCC ordered Great Lakes Community Broadcasting to cease operations of all its stations immediately.[3]
