Chicago Independent Radio Project

The Chicago Independent Radio Project (CHIRP) is a non-profit organization that operates a community radio station (CHIRP Radio) currently accessible via its Web site.
The organization's stated goal is "to provide Chicago residents with a community radio station focused on the representation of local people, events, and issues alongside a wide array of local and independent music."[1]
CHIRP is also working to convince the Federal Communications Commission to remove existing barriers to the granting of low power FM radio licenses in urban areas.
In June 2011, CHIRP Radio was named "Best Overall Radio Station" by the Chicago Reader in its annual Best of Chicago issue.[2]
