WCVX - WQRT Real Talk 1160

WQRT Real Talk 1160

On June 15, 2009 the station's call letters changed to WQRT and debuted a conservative talk format. The station was briefly known as "Q1160" and even registered a web address at www.q1160.com. After several hours on the air, the station's management realized that any use of the letter Q in radio was servicemarked by WKRQ-FM, which has been known as "Q102" for over 30 years. By the afternoon on June 15, the station had edited out the "Q1160" reference in all imaging and had registered the new web domain www.realtalk1160.com. The station's primary image line was "Cincinnati's Real Talk 1160." The station's lineup was primarily from the 24-hour satellite feed of Talk Radio Network, as part of TRN's initiative to distribute its programming in bulk. It was also the home of former WLW host Andy Furman, who was on in the morning and in late afternoon.

As of December 13, 2010, WQRT cleared Dennis Miller, which replaced Dr. Laura Schlessinger, with the latter's move to Sirius XM Satellite Radio in 2011. WQRT is one of several stations that dropped the show early, before it ended terrestrial radio distribution.

On Wednesday January 2, 2013, WQRT fired its local on-air staff, after Dean Miuccio finished his "Cincinnality" morning show. Syndicated programming replaced the local content, and the station went dark after the Notre Dame football game on Monday January 7th. On February 1st, the station obtained the Christian radio format and WCVX call letters from 1050 AM, which is now known as Urban Gospel WGRI.
