The University of Missouri-St. Louis completed its purchase of WQUB 90.3 FM from Quincy University today. Now part of the St. Louis Public Radio network, WQUB will be called Quincy Public Radio and will begin broadcasting this evening.
Quincy Public Radio listeners will not only be able to continue enjoying signature public radio programs such as Morning Edition, All Things Considered, The Diane Rehm Show, Fresh Air and Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me!, but they will now be able to also hear other signature programs such as Talk of the Nation, Marketplace, Car Talk, This American Life and A Prairie Home Companion.
“This move will ensure that public radio will remain a valuable asset in the Quincy region now and in the future,” said St. Louis Public Radio and Quincy Public Radio general manager Tim Eby. “On the air and in the community, we are committed to providing Quincy Public Radio listeners the best service possible.”
