The Wizard is Chicago's only freeform radio station. Freeform radio means that you can hear any type of music, along with a variety of news and educational content whenever you turn us on, day or night.

At any given moment you could be introduced to something new and exciting, wild and weird, and sometimes even nice and familiar! We always say, if you don't like what you're hearing right now, change the dial, but tune in five minutes later and you'll hear something TOTALLY different, and you might just love it!

Also, tune in for:

Democracy Now!
8-9 a.m. Monday-Friday
