Big Change In The Quad Cities

• iHeartMedia was busy in the Quad Cities over the weekend, transforming Classic Rock KCQQ into Classic Hits as Big 106.5, featuring timeless classics from artists including Billy Joel, Elton John, Michael Jackson, Journey, Fleetwood Mac, and probably others as well. Big 106.5 still features the syndicated Bob & Tom Show in the morning, PD Mark Manuel in afternoon drive and Kristina in middays.

“This is the best music ever played on radio,” says Joel McCrea, Area President of iHeartMedia Iowa. “We are confident the music, personalities and great promotions we have on Big 106.5 will be entertaining for our listeners and provide great results for our clients.”

The flip to Classic Hits fills the format hole created last week when Townsquare Media flipped Classic Hits KIIK-FM back to Country as US 104.9.
