Why q101 is gone

I do see a well-run, hip, cool, rock-leaning station starting here. I see it coming. Newswire Powered by. Close the menu. Rolling Stone. Log In. To help keep your account secure, please log-in again.

This is not a magic bullet. This will not happen over night. Two things will happen though: Our community and the Q experience will grow, and Chicago radio will take notice we will pursue this.

We will not be able to get Q on the radio without executing the above. We broadcast on the internet. Some are very passionate about Chicago and Q Most are not as passionate about Q as you are. You have to remember, they were hired guns. They were employees. Some of them have moved on to other radio jobs in other markets. The show must go on. Some of them are undoubtedly thinking of getting out of radio. Some of them had day jobs too.

Quite frankly: Some, perhaps, were caught off-guard by the developments of the Emmis sale and it seems to have cast a pall over us, too. We feel their pain. We have publicly and privately made it known, and will do it here yet again: Our door is always open to anyone who wants to partake in Q If not, we wish everyone well and will look to bring in positive, fun-loving, and passionate people who want to have a good time and do good work.

The long and the short of it is, these DJs and the ones before them became a part of your life because they were on Q Q will work to bring that fun, humor, art and connection back into the experience for you, from the best talent we can find! Your favorite Q Events will live if we can raise the funds to do them. We will have Jamboree again!

We will have Twisted again! We will have the Block Party again! We will work tirelessly to provide YOU with the best events in Chicago if the funds can be raised for them. Local is a staple for Q and Chicago and we have been having myriad conversations about it with performers, venues, promoters, and journalists about rekindling it. We are hopeful there are developments in the Local area to announce very soon! Also, today, smartphones let you listen in your car, or anywhere in the world!

When it is shown in Chicago, everyone recognizes it. Q is a warm blanket, a plate of comfort food, or a phone call with a close friend. Not WKXQ. Email, Facebook, and Tweet all of your friends and ask them to join us. Support our sponsors if you support them, they know Q works and they stay with us This is not a magic bullet.
