According to radioinsight Q101 has a new PD
https://radioinsight.com/headlines/253959/james-kurdziel-moves-to-q101-chicago-as-program-director-wade-linder-moves-to-kqrs-fm/

Can we expect any kind of format tweak away from indie club and more of an acternative or more of the same?

I just hope Wade isn’t going to the Twin Cities to up-end things at KQ92, I like that station and often listen online

He programmed WEDG in Buffalo which currently is almost exactly the same as Q101 is musically except they overnight a few Active cuts (As in they play a few Active cuts only in the overnight hours) It's also more regionalized (Lots of Our Lady Peace, Canadian band, Buffalo is along the Canadian border)

Lol can you please explain to me why they are presenting Ghost in concert and doing a ticket giveaway all day tomorrow? Ghost doesn't have an alternative bone in their body 😂

Because there is no other station in the market that can promote it. They are hoping metalheads are listening to Q101. To a small %, they are correct. Also, it is very possible this is a companywide promotion. Advertisers and promoters can be fooled to think that the station demo is within the promotion itself.

Short answer? Money.

The only other station where I hear Ghost played is Q-Rock 100.7 Coal City. Maybe Q101 figures they don’t have to worry about any other Chicago station even mentioning Ghost.
