WQXQ-101.9 FM (Central City, Ky.) will debut a completely new format today.
The Starlight Broadcasting-owned station, which can be heard in much of Southern Illinois, Southwestern Indiana, Western Kentucky and part of Tennessee, has many big changes in store for listeners as part of its completely new, reinvigorated sound.
The station has been rebranded as
Q102,
“Today’s Best Music & Home of the QMIX,” and will refer to its coverage area as
“Q102-Land” instead of the typical term
“Tri-State” as used by almost all of the other radio stations in the area. WQXQ will also debut a new website,
myqmix.com.
