WQTL (106.1 FM, "Vibe 106.1") is an rhythmic adult contemporary music formatted radio station in Tallahassee, Florida, United States, owned by Adams Radio Group, through licensee ARG of Tallahassee LLC. Its studios are located in northeast Tallahassee, and its transmitter is located due north of downtown Tallahassee.

From 2009 until April 2, 2012, WQTL aired an oldies/classic hits format as "Q106.1." On April 2, WQTL's oldies format was dropped and the station began stunting with music by The Beatles. A new format was to launch sometime soon.[2] On April 17, 2012, WQTL ended stunting and launched a classic rock/AAA format, branded as "106.1 The Path".

On July 31, 2015, WQTL rebranded as "106.1 The Sound".[3]

On April 11, 2018, WQTL changed their format from classic rock/AAA to oldies, branded as "Kool Oldies 106.1".[4]

On December 26, 2023, at approximately 10:50 a.m., after playing "The Load-Out" by Jackson Browne, the station began stunting with the Nintendo Wii menu music. At 12 noon, the station flipped to rhythmic adult contemporary as "Vibe 106.1"; the first song under the format was "Hypnotize" by The Notorious B.I.G.[5]
