What’s Next for KQRS? We’re Glad You Asked!

We’re changing. Let’s get that said up front. It’s a good thing. Rock music has to evolve and so does KQ. There are things which exist that do not evolve whether by choice or fear, and when they don’t, they wither away. Not us. KQRS belongs to the Twin Cities and we embrace evolution as an entire generation demands we become something for them. Our goal is to focus on your personal soundtrack—one that speaks to Gen-X and beyond. 

Why change? Well, because you’ve asked us to change. You deserve to know what we’re doing and why. There’s no head scratching here because we’re coming right out with it. Proudly, as a matter of fact. The truth is you might listen to KQ now and realize it’s not for you (pardon the Pearl Jam pun). That’s ok. This isn’t meant to be for everyone but if you give us a chance and some trust, you’ll fit in perfectly.

We’re led by Steve Gorman in the Morning with the sounds and perspectives by and for Gen-X. You’ve asked for the music that shaped your life. From the power chords of the ‘80s to the raw energy of the ‘90s, into the wide-eyed optimism of the 2000s. We’re delivering the rock that matters most to you. We’ll also give real exposure to the iconic Minnesotans who have built the sounds of our community. All this music has been here and we’re giving it a home. KQ is now a complete rock station.

This isn’t just a change—it’s a natural progression; time for us to grow again. It’s about renewing the spirit of the KQ. Making it more relevant, more electric, and more yours than ever. 

Welcome to the next chapter of 92KQRS. Now for an entire generation that grew up screaming Here we are now. Entertain us!
