• The lucky listeners of Cumulus Alternative WKQX (Q101)/Chicago were just rewarded with three more years of Lauren O’Neil, as RAMP has learned that the company has extended Q101’s talented midday personality for another three years. O’Neil celebrated her first decade of service with Q101 in July of this year.
The news of O’Neil’s contract extension was shared in a staff memo from Troy Hanson, Cumulus VP/Programming, Rock Formats, VP/Operations for Cumulus Chicago & PD of Q101, which reads, in part, “Lauren is Q101, the face and spirit of our beloved brand. The passion, execution and all around excellent work that Lauren exudes on the daily is evident to anyone who comes in contact with her. We are grateful to retain and bottle all of that for years to come. The strong bond she has crafted with our valued listeners, coupled with amazing client relationships is second to none. In addition, as our designated Social Media Captain for the brand, Lauren has grown the outreach of our digital platforms exponentially over the course of that last 15 months and we are very proud of her work in this area.”
