He's had his own show for years.

Yeah, but he was only weekends/fill-in. It's only in the last few months that he's had a weekday show, though it bears mentioning that they didn't give him the full overnight, probably in fear that he would complain about Radio Shack for six hours straight.

Sounds like the branding for 101.1 is just going to be "101WKQX," which is kind of a mouthful and isn't even memorable.

Fuck branding. Play more of the music they've been playing over the last several weeks (minus Blink 182) and I'll be happy.

SCHAUMBURG HAS SPOKEN! and for once it didn't say "...yeah and you might as well supersize the fries and the coke"

I'd like to think Schaumburg would instead order a Cheesy Beef, but I think Zippy's went out of business.

Honestly, it'd be fine if they dropped the "W" from it, but they must have thought it sounded too close to "93XRT" for comfort. Their playlist does look pretty good, though. Too much Vampire Weekend, but any is too much.

He did just weekends, but at least that was a regular gig. He was also the go-to guy to fill in for Steve & Johnnie.

I think they worried about his content & how the farmers would react to him during the days. Outside of Kathy & Judy, they were used to vanilla. Nick has too many opinions. Some not the type "decent" folk would have. I'm thinking that's why he's buried so late @ night.

I don't think they want one host doing the whole overnight. Once Steve & Johnnie got the boot, they went w/ 2 separate overnight shows. Might have to do w/ pay, longer show = more money.
