WKQS-FM (101.9 FM, "Sunny 101.9") is a radio station broadcasting a hot adult contemporary format. Licensed to Negaunee, Michigan, and serving the Marquette, Michigan area, it first began broadcasting in 1998.
WKQS was an affiliate of Dial Global's "Hot AC" satellite-delivered format, as well as the syndicated Delilah love-songs program.
WKQS was also the home of "Mark & Walt in the Morning" for 13 years. The trio split up in early February 2012 when Mark accepted an opportunity elsewhere. Mark suggested that Mike Plourde (voice of Ishpeming Hematite Sports on sister 98.3 WRUP) could be a potential replacement for mornings on WKQS. Mike Plourde and Walt Lindala will be joining forces in March 2012 to bring a brand new morning trio to WKQS.
WKQS is locally programmed and has local talent around the clock. Eric Tasson serves as the program director and music director.
On-air talent includes: Mike Plourde, Walt Lindala, Dee Dee, Tony Dutcher, Delilah, Eric Tasson, Nina Blackwood, and John Tesh.
