WQST was a radio station licensed to serve Forest, Mississippi. The station is owned by Ace Broadcasting, Inc. Its format was southern gospel.[2] The station was assigned this callsign by the Federal Communications Commission September 1, 1986.[1]

On Sunday, March 16, 2008, WQST dropped its simulcast with WZQK for southern gospel from The Gospel Station, based in Ada, Oklahoma.

In December 2012 WQST left the air due to financial reasons, and surrendered its license to the FCC on January 10, 2013. It is now internet only.
