CHIRP Radio 107.1FM (Chicago Independent Radio Project)

We're proud to be celebrating our fifteenth anniversary as an independent, listener-supported radio station in 2025. We built the station from the ground up, and your generous donations have made everything we do possible.

This year, we're rebuilding our website and mobile apps with the excellent folks at Callibrity to provide you with an improved, integrated user experience across the platforms -- something listeners have long asked for. Our mission at CHIRP is to be supportive of, and responsive to, Chicago's vibrant independent music, arts and cultural communities. We're working every day to create stronger connections and showcase amazing local artists. Thank you for making everything we do possible.

On this Valentine's Day, some news we think you'll love... To celebrate 15 years of CHIRP Radio, we’re teaming up with Callibrity to reimagine your listening experience. Imagine seamless streaming, enhanced playlists, and a sleek new mobile app — all designed to bring you closer to the music and stories you care about. Stay tuned for sneak peeks and updates as we build the future of independent radio together! #ChirpRadio15 #CallibrityCollaboration #NextLevelListening
