They've got a lot going on here- the students seem to be the DJs and they bring their own flavor of music with them. So don't expect to hear the same thing over and over and over and over like some of those top 40 stations. There's a good chance you'll never hear a song twice on here. Eclectic! There's some weird stuff on here. My favorite part is sort of the laid back attitude of the DJs. They're not all polished and professional like those Top 40 stations. Since it's a community radio station, they don't have advertisements every few minutes, like those Top 40 stations. In fact, they don't have any! It's all public service announcements, reminding you not to drive without a seat belt, or to wear a bicycle helmet. If you don't happen to be on the DePaul campus, you can still listen to this radio station on your smart speaker, or on their website, or even on their dedicated app!

EX DJ YELPING That…read moreis our top story tonight... Wow a lot has changed in 11 years. I use to have my own radio show on this station and also handled the sports too with my buddy Larry G. It was a lot of fun. The bad part is that the FCC really limited our FM signal, which meant I was broadcasting to a 6 block radius and the poor students eating in the cafe. Fast forward to 2013 and I am actually listening to DePaul Radio on my iPhone as I am writing my review. That is just crazy because I'm at least 2 miles away from the station. In fact, you can now hear this station worldwide on iTunes or watch them on a webcam. What a great opportunity for these future broadcasters. I hope they appreciate this because I would have been so excited for this kind of exposure. I have not been in the new station but it looks much nicer then what I was broadcasting from. We also had to splice tape too for our sport shows and interviews. I am sure the new studio is all digital. Handling the sports back then was fun. Larry and I would rolled up to the Rosemont Horizon (now called the Allstate Arena for all you young DePaul students) for the Mens Blue Demon basketball games with our press badges around our neck. We even got press parking right next to the stadium. It was even fun to get to eat with the real professional sports writers. Yes they feed us. This is the life! I had some great moments in my college radio career. I truly enjoyed interviewing an upset Alonzo Mourning after his Georgetown team got beat by DePaul. Yeah we had some good basketball teams in the past. I really wish they could return to the glory years. I also loved covering the women's basketball team too. I always enjoyed my one on one interviews with Coach Doug Bruno. He was always animated and a lot of fun. So my advice to these young broadcasters is this: learn as much as you can and do internships. Soak all of this in because it all changes in the real world. These will be some of your most memorable times, so enjoy every moment. I've got you tuned in and I'm enjoying it. Keep on spinning those records (those are those round things...no not CDs! Oh wait your probably spinning MP3's! Digital makes you life so easy!)

These guys keep me in the Loop! This is a fun radio station…read morethat serves the community. They play a local playlist of bands from Chicago, songs about Illinois, and talk about local political and social issues. Since this station is on the left side of the dial, there's no real commercials on here- it truly serves the community with the occasional public service announcement. Plus, they talk about things that other radio stations won't or can't have the time to discuss. The celebrate all the local holidays, and have some in-depth discussions on all things Chicago. If you don't like the music on here, give it an hour, and the DJ will change, and they'll put something else on. This morning, I woke up jamming to Tupac with them. You can pick up this station on a smart speaker world-wide! If you're missing Chicago, or just wanting to learn a little more about the Windy City, this is a great way to tune in and turn on!

93 XRT - Chicago's home for music lovers! I'm not quite sure…read morewhat XRT stands for, but they put out the jams! This is mainly a classic rock station, and the DJs are professional and knowledgeable about the music, they seem to really know their stuff. They play some deep tracks that you don't hear on other classic rock stations, and have some good commentary. Since it's classic rock, I guess I don't hear too many new songs. That's the trouble with classic rock. I've at least heard of nearly every artist on here. Some of the things that they consider classic rock make me feel old. I like the fact that they don't have very many commercials on here, especially compared to other stations.

There's so many advertisements on this station, it's like the few same songs, on a loop with tons and tons of ads. I can't believe there's ads for other stations on this station. Sick of this station? Come listen to this one to get sick of. This is part of the iHeart Radio Media conglomerate, which seem to have stripped all the local flavor from this station, and make it sound like any other you'd find in any other city across the country. The morning panel seems like a bunch of drivel that I really do feel dumberer listening to. When they say that they're the #1 music station, I'd like to see their data that they base that on. Their claims are dubious.

But that was more than enough. Eric, Kathy and Melissa are criminally annoying. Eric prattles on and dishes with the girls about Britney Spears, Mary Janes, fierce cosmos and pugs. But he doesn't _really_ know anything about this stuff because he is Straight (Richard Simmons), Straight (Charles Nelson Reilly), Straight (RuPaul). And Kathy and Melissa do their level best to set the women's movement back hundreds of years (respectively with inane ramblings and palpable lack of confidence) each time they open their mouths. Eric says, "The sun is a source of cold." Kathy says, "Really, Eric? Gawsh, I never thought of that before. Wooaaaooww. Gigglegiggle." Melissa says, "Um, no I don't think..." Eric says, "Aren't you old and desperate for a man?" Melissa shuts up. How do people listen to this day in and day out? When I first moved to Chicago, my clock radio was set on this frequency from my previous city of residence. The one positive I can say about THA MIXXX is that as soon as I heard the inanity, I would bolt out of bed to turn the radio off. So, thanks Eric & Kathy, for making sure that I started my day with a fright and great annoyance but, at least, I got out of bed promptly.

And even she is tied with David Hochberg to be the 2 most annoying personalities on the station for local hosts. And even you start hearing his commercials where he asks David Jennings who his guests going to be. I hope the local personalities are enjoying show time while they can, as less than a month, Dave Eanet will be retuning with another season of Northwestern Football, then basketball once their season gets going, then Chicago Bears will return for another season, which meats the return of Hamp and O'B doing their pre and post game shows, and once Chicago Blackhawks start their season, plus they will be picking up Chicago White Sox's games when they come in conflict with the Chicago Bears games. And then picking up The Verdict with Ted Cruz, is WLS AM or The Answer too busy to be the Chicago radio affiliate for the show on Sunday nights to air it? Ted Cruz has to be spreading Republican lies, and making Donald Trump sound like the greatest thing since sliced bread.

With no commercials or meaningless chatter, CHIRP is my new at home listen.
