Hi, I’m Andy Chanley. I’ve been asked to describe my new afternoon show on 93XRT, Radio Free Chicago. The commercial-free XRT Xpress parts are simple: zero commercials (and precious little talk) for the hour-and-a-half between 2:30 and 4pm, and the hour between 4:30 and 5:30. The Freeform at Foursegment is harder to pin down, because it’s different every time. One day could feature a playlist linked by Free Association, but we might spin an entire album side the next.

Flashback Bonus Track Weekdays At 1pm With Annalisa Every weekend, XRT goes deep into one unforgettable year of music with Saturday Morning Flashback. But let’s be honest, there’s always a song or two that gets left behind. That’s where you come in. If a track sparks a memory — or you’re yelling “How did they miss that one?” — send it our way with an email to flashbackbonustracks@wxrt.com.
