An icon in local radio, Chuck Yates, would have been 69 years old tomorrow (August 5). It sounds strange to say that since he was always considered a “teenager” by all who knew him.
April 25 is a very special day for me and four other people. It was 29 years ago today that 99Q hit the airwaves of the Hannibal-Quincy area. On April 25, 1985 at 5:30 a.m., WQCY-FM changed its format, as well as my life. The format went from “Easy Listening” to “Top 40″ and with it a legacy began.
