Feder: Alex Quigley trades radio for Elgin city job

It's not entirely clear if Alex Quigley left radio or radio left Alex Quigley, Robert Feder writes.

Either way, the Chicago area broadcaster has traded his work behind a microphone for a desk job as content developer for the city of Elgin.

The last straw for Quigley, 40, was the demise of WFXF 103.9-FM, the northwest suburban classic rocker, where he spent four years as program director and midday personality. The station was sold to Educational Media Foundation, which flipped it to a noncommercial Christian music format. In April, 103.9 The Fox vanished along with Quigley and his co-workers.

In a Facebook post Tuesday, Quigley said his new job will entail handling written, social and audio and video content across Elgin's media channels, targeting "everyone from city employees to residents to tourists."
