CHIRP Comes to 107.1FM on October 21!

We can hardly believe it ourselves, but the moment you've been waiting for for more than ten years is almost here!

On Saturday, October 21 at noon, we will flip the switch and introduce CHIRP Radio 107.1FM to the north side of Chicago.

You can join members of the CHIRP board and staff for a  meet-up celebration at Hopleaf in Andersonville for CHIRP fans who want to listen to the launch live with fellow station enthusiasts. Hopleaf will open its upstairs space to listeners beginning at 11:30am on October 21 to toast the launch!

Our public launch party will be Saturday, November 4 at Dovetail Barrel Loft, 1800 W. Belle Plaine. We'll celebrate the culmination of these years of hard work with live music, CHIRP DJs, beer from Dovetail, small bites from local restaurants, a performance by the Flat Five (stripped down Flat Four-style) and general merriment! Tickets are $20 and will help cover costs of the broadcast operation. Tickets must be purchased in advance and are available here.

We'll also be at many different locations throughout the listening area in the weeks leading up to the launch handing out fun broadcast-related swag. You'll be able to find us at the Lincoln Square evening Farmers' Market on October 12, and Vintage Garage on October 15, among other places.
