They have some decent music programming. My own favorite shows are The Blues Show and Jazz Impressions. Be forewarned though that their programming is sometimes interrupted by NU athletic events. WLUW Loyola also has a good show at noon on Saturdays, the New Orleans Music Hour.... Anyway, happy listening, fellow Chicagoan.
I grew up on WXRT in the far south burbs since they were only on weekend nights. I even remember it's precursur WGLD. It's been my go to station this whole time. I DO get tired of hearing the same 100 or so new releases ad nauseum though so I searched last night and found the Loyola station. I believe it was 89.7. They were featuring songs about cars, it was pretty cool. Even though I live on the north side now I couldn't tune in the NW station too well. My place is lower level and I'm just using dipoles on the tuners in the LR and office. One of these days I'll get a proper antenna setup so I can get those low power college stations as good as the big boys. I probably listen to radio as much or more than LP's or other media and streaming so it will be worth the effort.
Guess it's a 70's thing to do but whomever was the previous owner engraved a bunch of numbers, smack dab in the front next to the Marantz logo, on BOTH sides!
