I lived in Chicago for over 20+ years. There were many outstanding radio stations there but in my opinion this was the hippest. They have such a big following because of their ability to stay on top of the music scene, sponsor excellent concerts and provide excellent programming. Programs like Blues Breakers, Saturday Morning Flashback and The Big Beat are great to tune into. I now live in Texas and although the stations here are all good (not), I enjoy tuning into WXRT to hear the DJ's again and experience some nostalgia. Thank goodness i can tune in here. Keep up the great work XRT!!

Always appreciated the music, but the playlist thing is horrendous! Had an account for many years and then when Audacy took over, I lost it, lost all my points, etc. No explanation, blah, blah, blah...

Unbelievable. Philadelphia's WXPN has playlists that go back for MONTHS. 'XRT gives listeners maybe a few hour's worth? Hardly a station that gears itself to "music lovers," as promoted. C'mon folks, this is Chicago, a major market ... ?

I was listening to : Genesis live from Chicago, 1978 (From the mouth of the monster bootleg).... It was a concert played live on WXRT that night (heard that while was listening)... So I just came to look if this radio station still exist... And it's good music!!!
