Michael Miner’s reporting on the upheaval at WBEZ radio [Hot Type, November 26 and December 10] helped me to understand how one of my favorite deejays, Stuart Rosenberg, got fired, but the best commentary on the situation is Jennifer Berman’s wonderfully caustic cartoon “WBEZZZZZ: Bumper Stickers for the New Regime” (December 24). (Her NAFTA cartoon [December 17] was great, too.)
For the rest of you deprived radio junkies, I suggest tuning a little further down the dial. Between 88 and 92 MHz you can find a number of interesting college radio stations with varied programming. Here on the north side, I recommend Northwestern University’s WNUR and Northeastern Illinois University’s WZRD. WNUR, at about 89.5 MHz, has a wide range of music programming, including jazz, classical, rock, hip-hop, folk, reggae, and blues.
