The Chicago Independent Radio Project
About us
We built CHIRP Radio 107.1FM as a home for passionate music fans. The station is volunteer-driven and listener-supported, which means your generosity makes everything we do possible.CHIRP is 100% independent and commercial-free, staffed by more than 250 volunteers and just one paid staff member. Our passionate, curious DJs are always live and local from our North Center studios, curating a wide mix of local, independent, lesser-heard, and just plain good music from a wide array of genres and eras.At CHIRP, we believe in radio's traditional strengths: its live, local nature, its immediacy and intimacy, and its ability to provide a sense of connection for its listeners and community. Radio at its best can make you feel slightly less alone in the world -- a trusted friend who's always there for you, keeping you company, filling you in on what's going on, and turning you on to music, arts and culture you might not have found on your own. This is what we strive for.
