About

Our story

There was a time when "Top 40" radio (inside the radio industry, referred to as "CHR", or Contemporary Hits Radio) dominated the AM radio spectrum. As an alternative, small, low-powered FM radio stations at colleges and universities began playing long, uninterrupted sets of album tracks from the Rock artists of the time. As FM radio became more commercially viable, this "freeform" style of radio began migrating to larger, corporately-owned stations. Thus, the "AOR" (album oriented rock) format was born. By the 1980's, the music and its' audience had grown older, and the AOR format morphed into what we now refer to as "Classic Rock". At Radio QDX, we are returning to a time when Rock Radio played a diverse collection of music, thousands of the greatest album rock songs ever recorded. Radio QDX is not a typical "classic rock" station playing the same 200 songs over and over again. You might hear Black Sabbath and then within 5 minutes hear Cat Stevens. How about ZZ Top and then Joni Mitchell? It might sound crazy, but that is how it was done back in the 70's, and that's how Radio QDX does it today. We think you'll love it!
