WLUW
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WLUW is an independent community radio station serving Chicago, Illinois and its northern suburbs. It styles itself as 88.7 Listener Supported Community Radio. Loyola University Chicago ceased funding WLUW in 2002, though the station still broadcasts from Loyola's Rogers Park campus. WLUW is now financially independent, although they receive some equipment and legal assistance from Chicago Public Radio. WLUW has two full-time staffers, and a volunteer staff of nearly 200.
While most of WLUW's programming is an alternative radio format with various DJs, there are many community, genre, news and specialty shows. Some standouts include:
- Radio One Chicago, hosted by Billy Oaks and Sean Morrison (features Chicago's Local Music Scene)
- Abstract Science, hosted by Chris Widman
- Think Pink, Chicago's only all music radio show for the GLBT community, hosted by Erik
- The Hump Day Dance Party, hosted by Dr. Drase and Rev. Michael Flavor
- The Drinking and Writing Brewery, hosted by Neo-Futurists Steve Mosqueda and Sean Benjamin
- Rock Sin Anestesia, The premiere Latin Alternative radio show in the US
WLUW is also known for its Record Fairs. Two are held each year; one a stand-alone event, and one at the Pitchfork Music Festival (formerly the Intonation Music Festival).
In the 1980s and early 1990s, the station had a pop music format (High Energy 88-7 FM and then Energy 88-7 FM), modeled after commercial radio stations such as WBBM-FM, with a full staff of student disc jockeys and news anchors/reporters.
Many of its alumni went on to professional broadcasting careers, including:
- Ernie Manouse, Emmy nominated and Katie Award winning TV Interviewer/Producer of the PBS show InnerVIEWS with Ernie Manouse
- Diane Carbonara, an award-winning news producer for WFLD-TV in Chicago, and a former anchorwoman with WIFR-TV in Rockford, Illinois and WMTV-TV in Madison, Wisconsin
- Jeff Hagedorn, a play-by-play announcer for the Houston Rockets and Houston Comets
- Lou Canellis, a Chicago TV sports and entertainment personality with Chicagoland Television (CLTV) and WLS-TV
