Is it true that there are no Hip Hopstations in Chicago? I hear that they play Techno,House, and Hip Hop. THere are no stations playing Hip Hop alone.

people dont care about radio in chicago. there's much more interesting things/live music than lame am/fm stations.

But surely there's a big enough audience for hip hop to support a dedicated station?

does hip hop deserve an 24 hour station dedicated to it? especially the boring tripe created today? hmmmm.

I don't know anyone from Chicago, but I'm sure they deserve something to satisfy their hip hop apetites.

Ive been to Chicago a few times in the last couple of years and there are certainly stations that play exclusively hip hop and r&b there.

Where's Funkpill He would know

There was one on the AM dial awhile back.


Not sure if its still there.


And on Saturday nights, on station WGCI,

its hip-hop from midnight to 5 in the morning.

Then it turns into a gospel station.

You mean a city as big as Chicago doesn't have a Hip Hop station? We've atlteast had 2 all the time in the 90s.
