Just heard the first air talent on the station - on Sonic Bliss, a chillout show which is also carried on WQKL in Ann Arbor but the jock did specifically talk about The Q, so maybe it's a different version of the show.

I’m guessing it’s tracked out of AA when the other show is tracked.

That sonic bliss show is actually independently produced and airs on a few radio stations:

Got the signal here in Wisconsin for about an hour on Saturday. Didn't sound bad at all. Processing sounded about right for the format it has. First time I've heard the signal running anything other than Country since Thunder launched in 2004. Easy null around WKTI when conditions are right. Heard 107.3 too. Sounded louder in regards to processing. 96.1 seems to get across the lake a lot more recently. Did they update things? Either that or I was simply not paying any attention.

1490 WKLQ Whitehall --> WBBL

Not seeing anything for any of the other stations yet.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned that there is now live talent on air at the Q. I don't listen much, but I heard a woman stumble through a segue Friday afternoon. I also heard what sounded like a high school girl late Thursday, shortly before midnight.

Why do jox have to say things like "that's all for me. I will leave you with this..." Sounds like things are shutting down. Should I turn the dial? Do jox no longer get air check critiques?

At least some of the jocks are voice-tracked. The guy doing middays who calls himself "Ryan" on the Q is Stiller from WLAV, where he does evenings.

Driving back from GR this morning to St. Joe and heard, spoken quite slowly and effectively, 'W-K-L-Q ... Holland Grand Rapids' at the top of the hour. It was like a twilight zone episode but fun to hear again. Bravo on recognizing heritage.
