WQWK, known as Quick Rock (I always called it quick pop) is done with rock and will now simulcast WRSC AM newstalk.

Rush will be replaced with Rush Limbaugh

With few exceptions, radio is nothing more than a corporate entity designed to make money. They don't know anything or care at all about music. I don't even listen to the radio anymore.

But it doesn't really matter because we have the miracle of the internet, so long as it remains free, and there it doesn't matter what you look like or who you're in bed with. There, the music speaks for itself, which is as it should be. If we're lucky, internet music will shank radio in the ass and leave it tits up in a ditch.

Here's an interesting documentary that anyone who actually loves music should watch:

"Before The Music Dies"

Radio can bite my shiny metal ass.

Fuck radio and all its empolyees

Radio sucks, but I do feel bad for those losing their jobs.
Quick Rock was the best station around here though. Late 90's and the Cris and Jim days were pretty cool. Wonder what happened to those guys?

WHOA there, spanky. Better rephrase that. It's radio OWNERS that you should be mad at, or telling to fuck off, not the employees. Sorry, but I'm proud of the 15 years I had in radio. I ALWAYS put my listeners first. Besides, if that frst line is how you feel, you just told Jim Price to fuck off. Think before you speak.

Those owners at "forever broadcasting" are forever fucking up the radio. PLEASE CHANGE 104.9 to another country station..... like we need another one right? All those network of stations disappoint me, that's why someone invent ipods and satellite radio

I'd say that the issue is with the sarcasm generator.

RobTheDrummer · Post by **RobTheDrummer** » Tuesday Aug 04, 2009

It's really too bad they didn't replace it with liberal talk radio. Then I would have had something to laugh at...

Damn man, I really feel bad now. You get to hear the same cycle of songs constantly...

"MERF"?!?!?! (I think I puked a little in my mouth!)

I replaced radio with my ipod three years ago. 7,0000 songs and they are all ones I like.

This is sad, not just because QWK was one of a dwindling number of rock stations in this market, but because they have been around since 1969. When I first started getting turned on to rock music in the early '70s, QWK and X-103 in State College both played "underground" rock at the time. Their signal didn't always come in strong, but I often tried to tune them in to hear album deep cuts. They went through a few format changes along the way, but came back full circle to rock before the expansion to 99.1 and the Johnstown market.

Bottom line, nothing lasts forever in today's radio business.
