Monday, June 27th, CKLQ 91.5 FM and 880 AM, better known to most folks as Q Country, became… The “Legendary” Q Country. Sure, Q Country has been the resident “Big Dog” of radio in Western Manitoba for many a decade, but we’re too modest to call ourselves “Legendary”. It’s our music that’s earned that brand. Willie, Dolly, Kenny, Tammy, Reba, Garth, the Chicks, the Judds, Luke & Johnny…and many more. It’s all about the “Legendary” artists that shaped the Country Music Landscape and our appreciation of the genre. You can count on it! The legends will play in Q Country 91.5 FM and 880 AM. And our line-up of hosts? Well, they’re legendary in their own right. The first lady of country music radio in Westman, Leanne Doty, will anchor the Q Country Dayshift. Another radio legend, Russ Tyson brings his country music chops and charming wit to the Q Country airwaves hosting The Afternoon Ride. Mornings on Q Country just got busy! More information! More fun! More caffeine! Long time Westman radio favourite Ray Walker is joined by the “Belle of Baldur”, former CTV Canada AM TV host Shelly “Downtown” Brown and Westman’s pre-eminent electronic news anchor Harry Callaghan. Simply put, Westman will soon realize that the new Q Morning Crew is the absolute best way to get informed and energized at sunrise. Yes! The Legends live and play in Q County! Legendary Nights and Weekends, you’ll enjoy the company of the whole Q-Crew and you’ll see our Road Crew at your events all across Q Country!
