Talk:WKQX

message: "WKQX 101.1 FM is a gold heavy alternative station"
I changed "alternative" to link to "Alternative rock".  Although i don't get the heavy.  should it be "Alternative metal".

thread_title:  Shows 

message: Concerning the section that is tagged with "Lacks Importance" it seems as if it has something to do with the format of the station and how its changed over the years. In its status of "on shuffle" this can be seen as a direct response to digital cultures rise. In fact, the term "shuffle" comes from the digital media's ability to play "at random." This is important from the point of view of digital culture, but also it is an extention of what the station had been jonesing for from the beginning as it is named WKQX (X for experimental). Now not only is the music itself "experimental" but now with "shuffle" the format of the shows or the order of the songs is more experimental.  (Xsxex 14:06, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Concerning "Lacks Importance" 

message: No mention of the playing of the leaked track from Nine Inch Nails?  It trigged a big shitstorm, as I recall, and led to a period (a week?  a month?) where they played the leaked song every hour, on the hour, just to thumb their noses at the label.

message: I don't think this is as significant as past changes to be included in this article. Adding a .1 to the end of the station name on the radio doesn't seem to alter the format of radio play as much as going on shuffle did. I think this section should be deleted.

thread_title:  Q101 changes their image 

message: It is dissapointing to see this article the way it is, but I also see the trouble in trying to fix it.  There just aren't many sources regarding the history of Q101, and Q101 itself pretty much pretends that the past DJ's and formats never existed.  I tried to trim out the poorly written, unsourced, and subjective parts (mentioning that a competing radio station "wussed out" and changed formats) to make it seem a little better.  I hope someone can find a better history, as I know the station has been around for over 16 years, and I'm sure there is alot to say.  We need sources, and we need them badly.

thread_title:  Still a work in progress 

message: There was a hilarious incident circa late 1998 when Q101 ran a contest where if you guessed some kind of Wednesday Word or something you got to control four minutes of airtime.  This one guy won and he had the station play 2 minutes of some soft 80's music (Asia I think) and for the other two minutes he read obituaries.  It was perhaps the best moment in radio history.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.205.221.8 (talk) 19:48, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wednesday Word 

message: At this point, which is about 0100 CDT, there's no more argument about the station's demise in the incarnation. As of midnight, the on-air talent was not able to use the former call letters, and they've officially ended the Q101 era with "Friday I'm In Love" by The Cure, which was the same song they opened the alternative era with. Regardless of whether the frequency is still broadcasting at this point in time, it's no longer WKQX. Can we please stop revert wars over the status of the channel ("is" vs "was" in the first para?)

replies: text: Even without "Q101," it's still WKQX...I guess that could change, but those are still the call letters right now. Tim D (talk) 06:28, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
