Cumulus Media will be bringing the iconic Bob & Tom Show to Chicago's 101.1 WKQX-HD2, the HD2 multicast channel for alternative rock radio station, 101 WKQX. A favorite of millions and one of the funniest, longest-running and highest-rated radio programs in America, The Bob & Tom Show will air weekday mornings from 5am-10am.

Troy Hanson, Vice President, Operations, Cumulus Chicago, and 101 WKQX Program Director, said: "We are pleased to give a platform to one the most successful morning shows in radio history with The Bob & Tom Show on our HD2 signal at WKQX.

A tip of the cap to Westwood One, who has made the access to the entire cast of B & T characters set to hit Chicago incredibly smooth."
