Q101 Chicago is a former commercial internet radio station based in Chicago, Illinois, that operated from June 2011 to April 2022. Owned by Broadcast Barter Radio Networks, the station streamed a modern rock format promoted as a "continuation" of "Q101," the intellectual property and related trademarks of Chicago-licensed terrestrial radio station WKQX (101.1 FM) between 1992 and 2011 (divested from then-station owner Emmis Communications in July 2011). While this station reverted to a modern rock format in 2014 following a subsequent ownership change, it opted to brand instead as "101WKQX".
Q101 Chicago ceased operations after current WKQX owner Cumulus Media repurchased the brand and all related assets in April 2022, restoring the "Q101" brand onto WKQX on May 3, 2022.
