The WNUR Rock Show is broadcast on 89.3 FM in Chicago, its northern suburbs, and via the internet. The DJs are Northwestern University undergraduates who complete two quarters of apprenticeship and attend weekly meetings to learn about independent rock music across the U.S. and especially the Chicago scene.
The Rock Show's mission is to provide a medium for otherwise unheard music through the airwaves of Chicago and on the Internet. The Rock Show specializes in independent, experimental and underground music. Its content features music from right here in Chicago, across the country, and around the world. Rock DJs play no wave, punk, musique concrete, post-punk, noise, noise rock, and anything else that attempts to expand the boundaries of music.
Notable Alumni include Steve Albini and the Arcade Fire's William Butler.
