JIM QUINN WARROOM RADIO UPDATE

Quinn’s final hour included a trivia game called 'Stump The Audience,' where the answers had been kept 'in a sealed envelope on Funk and Wagnalls’ doorstep since noon today.' In an emotional farewell as he returned to Pittsburgh, Quinn said, 'May I get lockjaw if I ever forget how much I appreciate the people who listen.'Ī Pittsburgh station, 13Q or WKTQ, lured him back in 1977 to capture the adults who had grown up listening to him on KQV. He then moved to Buffalo, New York where in the late 1970s he became known to listeners throughout the northeast on WWKB (WKBW at the time), a 50,000 watt station that took requests from as far away as Norway. He stayed until 1972, then spent time in New York City at WPIX-FM.

In 1968, he jumped at an opportunity to take a job in Philadelphia, but was back at KQV in less than a year. Quinn was hired from WING/Dayton in 1967 and had an immediate impact on the market. Quinn is best remembered in the Pittsburgh area as the vociferous nighttime host on KQV radio in the 1960s, during the station’s peak as a Top 40 power. Limbaugh worked at KQV and WIXZ/McKeesport, PA as a disc jockey under the name Jeff Christie. Disk jockey and novelty hostīefore beginning his political morning show, Quinn spent a number of years doing voice over work for WPGH-TV 53 and as a disc jockey at KQV in the 1960s and 1970s, where he would befriend his eventual political mentor Rush Limbaugh. and is also heard on XM Satellite Radio Channel 244 from 6–9 a.m. His program, The War Room with Quinn and Rose, is aired on 12 stations across the U.S. Several outlets have since confirmed that the Quinn & Rose Morning Show is no longer on the air after an unsuccessful contract discussion.Jim Quinn (born February 26, 1943) is an American radio talk show host based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

UPDATE 2: Another status update on the (unofficial?) Quinn & Rose Facebook page quotes WPGB Program Director Gregg Henson, “WPGB tired to reach new terms with Quinn & Rosee, but that was unsuccessful, they will be moving on and we support and thank them.”

The person responsible for updating the page has no further information than the program has been removed from WPGB and all affiliates carrying the program. UPDATE: Thanks to another alert PBRTV reader, a Facebook Status Update shows that the program has, in fact, been taken off the air. However, the site indicates that there are two appearances scheduled in the upcoming months. Meanwhile, the program’s War Room website remains in tact, but contains no information as to the show’s whereabouts. One would normally chalk that up to vacation, but a quick visit to WPGB’s website indicates that there is no sign of either Jim Quinn or Rose Somma-Tennent and a generic program was airing in its place. One alert PBRTV reader asked today via Facebook, “What happened to Quinn & Rose?”Īpparently the duo, known for their program based at Pittsburgh’s WPGB-FM (104.7) and aired across several stations in the country, was missing this morning.
