Featured Story:
Join the QRTM Listener Club — Free, Forever
By Dwight Quinn
QRTM Radio has been keeping authentic blues, gospel, jazz, and soul alive around the clock since Quinn Records TM first started preserving the sound of St. Louis blues back in 1971. Now there's a new way to stay plugged in: the QRTM Listener Club, live now on the QRTM Radio page.
Joining is free, and it always will be — the stream never goes behind a paywall. What you get right away: a weekly programming email with the show guide and featured artist, first alerts when new music hits rotation, and a direct line to everything happening at QRTM before anyone else hears about it.
It's a small step with a big goal — Station Manager JIM EG, "The Cruise Master," has been building QRTM's audience toward a much bigger community of regular listeners, and the free Listener Club is the front door. Down the road, look for ways to support the station even further with member perks — for now, the ask is simple: join free, and help keep real music playing.

MEET THE CRUISE MASTER — JIM E.G., STATION MANAGER
Behind every spin on QRTM Radio is Jim E.G. — a.k.a. James Gilbert, a.k.a. "The Cruise Master" — steering Quinn Records T.M.'s 24/7 stream of authentic blues, soul, gospel, and jazz.

Now, as Station Manager, he brings that same ear for real music to the board every day — curating the playlist, keeping the classics in rotation, and steering the ship for more than 25,867 listeners tuning in worldwide this week alone
