Hi so very sad about 4KQ and for all the people involved . I will miss 4KQ so very much
The SEN network, killing off great radio stations yet again. Hope they enjoy the 1% audience figures they can expect. Thoughts are with all 4KQ crew. Sadly 4BH who is chasing KQ’s audience now, will be 95% voicetracked or networked as that is what ACE Radio seem be doing everywhere else – no a lot of scope of local talent, only sales reps.
