WQQW was a radio station on 1590 AM in Waterbury, Connecticut, operating between 1934 and 1992. It began broadcast as one of a handful of "high-fidelity" AM stations in 1934, operating on a double-width channel. It became a normal station in 1941 upon the adoption of the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement. During this time it changed hands several times. In 1996 it was acquired by the Unity Broadcasting Corporation, owner of WWRL, which surrendered the license.
