What's your favorite radio station in the state?

[Tweed]

I'm a big fan of 91.5 in Chicago. I especially love the jazz evenings and Odyssey. Gretchen has such a cool voice. Oh, and I can't forget Garrison Keillor with Prarie Home Companion. Car Talk is pretty good too, but I often forget to listen to it.

I can't go a summer without WGN. I love listening to Santo and the Cubs on the radio.

1. Well. I've been listening to WXRT for over 30 years.........

And even though some of the college stations are very progressive, there's only one 'XRT.

[Nailzberg]

5. Amen to that.

XRT is defiently tops on my list when I'm in Chicago. I gave a thought to WGN, but outside of Pat and Ron broadcasting the Cubbies and Nick at Night, there isn't much I agree with on the station, so I can't give it the title.

6. I was the same.

Now I like to support 9FM which has three simulcast stations. There owner is a strong Dem supporter (Newsweb-Echayner). There management team came from XRT. XRT is now owned by Infinity.

[RetroLounge]

7. Same here.

I realy miss WXRT living up here in Milwaukee, the armpit of radio hell.

9. Got broadband?

Of course you can't listen to it in your car still.

[PallasAthena]

17. and I hate to say it, but it isn't the same as it used to be....

(XRT, that is). Once they changed management/ownership, there was a clear decrease in its uniqueness. However, I still listen (there is only ONE Terri Hemmert, of course) when I'm not listening to NPR.

2. 670 am 10-2

best mid day am in chicago. the worst am show in chicago-mike north-he makes don seem like a liberal, the only redeeming feature on that show is the lady they have on. she needs her own show or a decent partner on a liberal talk show. remember when wls had on mike malloy and jay "brain stems" marvin before he was nutured. his friday night shoot outs ( i think that was the name) was thee funnist thing i have ever heard on am radio.....jesus that was great radio!!!

15. WLS...

Remember when WLS had Uncle Lar' & Lil Tommy(?) on in the morning doing "Animal Stories"?

[ProfessorGAC]

19. NOrth's Show Is The Worst On Radio

I never listen to that anymore. He's a complete idiot.

I listen to Mike & Mike now.

I do listen to Boers and Bernstein when i can, though.

[Wisc Badger]

3. WGN from April - October the "Pat and Ron" show

aka Chicago Cubs baseball.

[DrGonzoLives]

4. Other than that abomination Mancowshit

Q101 isn't bad. I like 94.7 as well. Most of the time I'm commuting, though, which means listening to 91.5 for the news in the morning and afternoon.

[More Than A Feeling]

8. 93.1 WXRT

I love their mix of music. A lot of things that I wouldn't get to hear otherwise.

[Radical Activist]

10. 99.9 in Chicago

I like hearing songs I don't normally hear on the radio. They play some real crap sometimes, but they also play a lot of good music from all genres.

[cubschicago]

11. The Tweed & Thompson Show

Of course! :)

[Tweed]

12. You gotta love having ringers on the DU Illinois Forum

Thanks honey!

[tritsofme]

13. 105.9 and 97.1

Howard in the morning, Kevin Matthews middays, and Steve Dahl on the ride home.

97.1 has great music all day, you can't go wrong.

[jeffrey_X]

14. 91.5

others:

97.1
Q101 - Sat nights from 9pm until 2am
88.1, WCRX (city only)

[Sword Wielding Brit]

16. 91.5, but only when...

my daughter isn't shouting for me to put on the "Dido" CD with "White Flag" on it so she can sing along B-) Hee hee

I work from home, and usually blast out a CD at top volume (still trying to blow my PC's speakers ;) ) or listen to BBC Radio 4 online.

Tweed, do you do a Chicago radio show, or did I totally get the wrong end of the stick there? Be gentle with me, I'm new here. :D

[orleans]

18. in the car: either the mix or 91.5 but i station surf constantly

at home my radio obsession is air america--specifically randi rhodes & mike malloy

[Placebo]

20. 93 XRT

It's not perfect, but it's as good as it gets for Chicago. There are other stations that might play songs I like, newer songs from younger bands, but they're likely few and far between a bunch of CRAP!

XRT ALL THE WAY!

[xray s]

21. WNUR 89.3FM Evanston

Its like a box of chocolates.

This Is Hell is the best, absolute best, political program on the air in this country.


Also, if you live in the far northern Chicago suburbs, listen to Wisconsin Public Radio out of Milwaukee, WHAD 90.7FM
