Hey Country Fans,

We’ve developed this section of the site to keep you updated on what’s going on with the show each Sunday. You can always drop us a line at wakeupq @1037qcountry.com with your best suggestions.

BETTER YET: Download our new App and you can make the request and/or listen to the show as fast as you can touch your screen!

This week’s Common Thread:

We’re just getting started on “Country Music Month”

We’ll also feature a special remembrance of Kris Kristofferson.

Plus we’ll celebrate some Country Birthdays and the #1s of the week over the years.

Meet me Sunday Morning from 6-10!

Chris
