The WBAA Classical 101.3 and WBAA News 105.9 tower will be undergoing major work starting on March 7th to enhance and strengthen the tower. The work is expected to continue until approximately March 30th. Most of the work will be done while the stations are at full power, but there will be times where we will need to reduce power or be off the air so that crews can work safely. We thank you for your patience while this work is completed. You can still listen to WBAA Classical and WBAA News online or via the WBAA mobile app.

Chicago Reader to become a non-profit

Published April 27, 2022 at 1:52 PM EDT

Employees of a beloved alt-weekly in Chicago are celebrating the end of a months-long fight with management that had threatened to put them out of business.

The Chicago Reader had planned to become a nonprofit organization to shore up its finances, but members of the management held up that process after editors ordered a fact-check of an opinion piece written by the paper’s co-owner, Len Goodman.

That is, until Tuesday when Goodman and three board members announced they would step aside.

Here & Now‘s Celeste Headlee speaks with Philip Montoro, music editor of the Chicago Reader.
