What is "wkqx"

WKQX (101.1 FM) – branded 101 WKQX – is a radio station serving the Chicago metropolitan area. The station is owned by Merlin Media, LLC and operated by Cumulus Media under a local marketing agreement announced in January 2014.

A former NBC Radio owned-and-operated station, WKQX is best known for carrying a long-running alternative rock format from 1992 until 2011 as " Q101." WKQX aired an alternative rock music format that originated on the former WKQX-LP (87.7 FM, or LPTV channel 6) from 2012 until 2014.

From 2001 to 2016, WKQX's studios were co-located with sister station WLUP in the Merchandise Mart; the station is expected to relocate to NBC Tower by summer 2016. Its transmitter is located atop the John Hancock Center.

WKQX broadcasts two channels in the HD Radio format.
