CraigP Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Matthew Hermes has a great late nite show on that station almost every night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeBop Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Good news for me, I suppose. I stream DCB often (through TuneIn) because their webstream is pretty reliable. Most of the programming when I listen is fine. I really like Chicago, so the Chicagoland weather forecasts give me a warm fuzzy (or cold shivery) feeling.

John Litweiler Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Trouble is, here on the southeast side of Chicago (including Bronzeville) we can't get WDCB unless we live in tall buildings or have car radios. Fortunately we do have 100-watt WHPK, with 35+ hours of jazz weekly - it can be heard as far as the west-south city limits and it plays a larger variety of jazz than does WDCB.

Larry Kart Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Trouble is, here on the southeast side of Chicago (including Bronzeville) we can't get WDCB unless we live in tall buildings or have car radios.

"...plays a larger variety of jazz than does WDCB." You can say that again. Also, even within the rather narrow stylistic boundaries that WDCB favors, they're often playing stuff that's fairly lame. This is at once distressing and bewildering -- because within those boundaries a fair amount of lively music still can be found. Can't tell you the number of times I've turned on 'DCB in the car, been treated to several tracks in a row of musical tedium and then turned to sports radio for relief..

alocispepraluger102 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) wdcb can be found on your phone or pad through the excellent tune in radio app. wdcb, with whpk, and wnur are now among my streaming favs. http://wdcb.org/new-media/smartphone-streaming.php Edited December 31, 2013 by alocispepraluger102 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpklich Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 WNUR is an alternative to WDCB. Their jazz programming is on weekday mornings. Like WHPK and unlike WDCB their disc jockeys are not paid, A very small handful are actual [Northwestern] students. I particularly like the show on Mondays- "Writer's Block", a show that has a large variety of jazz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alocispepraluger102 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) "Writer's Block" forever-i've been a fan at least 10 years-another of my great favs is alain drouid, for ultra sophisticated tastes, nott to speak of that bottomless fountain of worthwhile jazz, art lange.
