Just noticed that WXRT is now using the liner, "Chicago's Original Alternative."
For those of us old enough to remember, they were the first station to play Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, Liz Phair, Gin Blossoms, Matthew Sweet, etc. When Q101 started they never went after XRT, perhaps it was a difference of demos. XRT was targeting males 25-54 while Q101 was targeting women 18-35. Now that Q is gone, XRT seems to be doing all they can to bring the old Q audience over.
