For Keep It or Kick It tonight, I have a new song from Lee Brice with Hailey Whitters & Nate Smith called "Drinking Buddies". We have been playing it for you all day, but tonight on the New @ 9 I need your votes to tell me if WQMX should keep the song or kick it out into the garbage.

You will have until 9:45 to vote after you hear the song in its entirety, and I will then share the results at about 9:50 tonight.

You can text me on the Toth Buick GMC Text line or give me a call at 330-370-2000 in order to vote. This is another great way to make your voice heard on the station that is LIVE & LOCAL for you!

Happy listening! - Cherise, WQMX Music Director

I'm digging a lot of this new music here in 2024. Some hit home with me, and others not as much.

So, in no particular order, I thought it would be cool to drop here some of my favorites we're now spinning on WQMX. 

Yesterday was Carly Pearce's birthday. In thanking fans for all of the birthday wishes, she had an announcement to make.

Carly let fans know that the release of her latest album "Hummingbird" has been moved up! The album that includes her duet "We Don't Fight Anymore" with Chris Stapleton will now be released on June 7th!

You will be able to find it wherever you buy your music - ENJOY!

It's Thursday and that means it's time for another Top Ten list! I've made so many of these thus far, I'm starting to forget all the topics I've covered. I must double check that I haven't hit a topic yet before writing on it, unless it's a little bit off-the-wall. 

That's what I've got for you here this time around; we're branching out. It's easy for me to write about foods or music or whatever, but sometimes I like to learn a little as I write these, too. Light research on all the options available has taught me a lot about these miscellaneous top ten topics, whether that's the name of a pretty flower I enjoy or maybe a tidbit on video game history, for example. I don't need to research that I like tacos better than hotdogs, or anything like that. 

Whether you learn a little bit from these weekly ranking blogs, take a moment to do some self-reflection, enjoy comparing my picks to your own favorites, or even just get a kick out of judging my choices; thank you for giving a read. I'm real excited to get into this list, so here it is. It's my top ten patterns! 

10. Chevron

9. Toile

8. Striped

7. Polka Dot

6. Plaid

5. Gingham

4. Paisley

3. Tie-Dye

2. Houndstooth

1. Checkered

Along with all of the other graduates at the upcoming graduation, Toby Keith will posthumously receive an honorary degree from the University of Oklahoma. He was always a big fan and supporter of the Sooners.
