Howdy friends,

It's that time of (the half) year again. Money, that's what we want. Okay, let me be slightly less crass. Every Tuesday, I go in at 6 am and deejay on the radio in Chcago, like, for real. It's a legit FM station. But with a modest internet connection you can reach us anywhrere on the planet. That's cray, which I believe is how the kids say 'crazy.' Anyway, it's reliably the most fun three hours of my week. But we are a non-commercial radio station. That means two things: 1) We literally play no commercials ('no' as in 'zero' or 'none' or 'zilch'), which is awesome for you the listener; but 2) We have to get our operating revenue from someplace besides ad sales. And that someplace is you the listener. Anyway, this is a long way of asking you to pony up a few bucks so I can alleviate the ennui of existence by playing indie rock on the radio once a week in three hour increments.

CHIRP is your live, local, independent radio station. 

Here at CHIRP, we're all about human-driven radio: no algorithms, robots, or AI -- just local DJs who are passionate about the music they play and always excited to share their latest discoveries. We're happy to take requests, give you chances to win concert tickets, and hear your feedback. CHIRP is a station that was made for music lovers like you!

Your generous support makes everything we do possible. We are a truly independent, listener-supported station, 100% commercial-free.
