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 is now "Cincinnati's Real Talk 1160." The station's lineup is primarily from the 24-hour satellite feed of Talk Radio Network, as part of TRN's initiative to distribute its programming in bulk. It is also the home of former WLW host Andy Furman, who has been on in late afternoons.
On December 10, 2010 it was announced that Furman's show would be moving to mornings, clearing from 7-9 a.m.
As of December 13, 2010, WQRT clears 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.

“It’s important to remember that feminism is no longer a group of organizations or leaders. It’s the expectations that parents have for their daughters, and their sons, too. It’s the way we talk about and treat one another. It’s who makes the money and who makes the compromises and who makes the dinner. It’s a state of mind. It’s the way we live now.”
—Anna Quindlen (20th century)
