message: A scene in the movie Jingle All The Way was shot inside the studio. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.123.182.26 (talk • contribs) 
* this isn't actually true; the KQRS logo and studio seen in Jingle All the Way was pasted on to a generic window in a downtown Minneapolis office building.  KQ's studios at the time were in Golden Valley along with 93.7 "The Edge".  Ehren 06:13, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Wasn’t there some controversy in the 90’s with the morning show?  I thought that I had heard at one time that some “ethnic” type talk got some of the “classic” morning show hosts into some trouble.
On some of the old (80’s) morning show tapes, there were bits in which “The Chucker” called celebrities and messed with them.  He called from “Power Radio”.  Was that ever a tag line for KQRS?  Where did that originate?  There were also some bits from other stations as well.  Perhaps in Brainerd, MN? Brad Booher 23:05, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I see there's been some editing disagreements about making the logo of KQRS a thumb. I looked at about 20 other radio station articles and not one was in the format User:In1984 is trying to include. The reasons he/she mentioned (Edit Summary: clearly indicate logo - policy 1st - WP:NPOV#Bias - commercial; WP:NPOV#A_simple_formulation - assert facts; WP:NPOV#Fairness_of_tone - selection & organization of facts) I see have nothing to do with what format the logo is in. What does it matter? --Ouzo 17:49, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Format of KQRS logo 

message: I notice the mention of K-QueeRS was deleted. That wasn't intended as vandalism. Once in a great while, Tom Barnard would read a listener letter, beginning with "Dear K-Queers". Sort of like referring to KDWB as "K-DWeeB".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chabba77 (talk • contribs) 16:33, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's not Barnard though, that's listeners. Maybe put that on the Tom Barnard article, down with the rest of the "recurring segments" section? That's not exactly something that should go at the top of the article. --Sable232 02:41, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. We don't want this article looking like the Barnard one. --Ouzo 03:29, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I Would say KQ is more of a traditional AOR station now more than a Classic Rock station because they play newer cuts by established artists fairly often and they play more obscure music than the average Classic Rock Station.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.41.150.174 (talk) 01:50, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: To be perfectly honest, "traditional AOR" doesn't really have any kind of currency as a radio format name in 2008. In a contemporary context, the term classic rock completely encompasses what would have been called "AOR" 20 years ago. It's not the least bit abnormal for a classic rock station to add new releases by classic rock artists, nor is it abnormal for them to dig into obscure album cuts that weren't officially singles. You're applying an outdated distinction that really has very little bearing on how stations are actually branded or formatted in 2008. Bearcat (talk) 21:59, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
