There is a facebook group called "I used to work at Q101." There are 105 members. I think they have the absolute worst turnover radio in radio. Show me a station that has had less turnover without flipping format in the past 15 years and I'll give you $100.

Here. I'll help you.

Mornings (We'll start at the tail end of the gamble era)
Lance and Stoley
Wendy & Bill
Mancow
Morning Fix (ensemble)
Morning Fix (condensed)
Sherman and Tingle

Middays
Robert Chase
Nikki
Sludge
Elektra

Afternoons
Steve Fisher
Tim Virgin
Sludge
Woody Show
Fook
Sherman and Tingle
Alex Quigley
Manno Brothers

Nights
Brian the Whipping Boy
Brooke Hunter
Madison
Shark
James Van Osdol
Pyke
Fook
Manno Brothers
Alex Quigley
Ryan Manno

Late Nights
Loveline
No Loveline
Loveline Again

PD's
Bill Gamble
Alex Luke
Dave Richards
Tim Richards
Mike Stern
And then they gave up on program directors for 16 months because wow, I dunno cheaper to have "brand managers?"
Tisa (maybe?)
Spike
Marc Young
and then outsourced to St Louis.

So that's a lot of people. And we're not even getting into Creative or MD's. I repeat, that's a lot of people.

WHAT THE ####, SERIOUSLY? THIS IS MULTI MILLION DOLLAR PUNCHLINE.

My head explodes trying to fathom this.
