Headlining the station is rap artist Yung Joc, star of VH1\u2019s \u201cLove & Hip Hop: Atlanta\u201d whose given name is Jasiel Amon Robinson. With him as co-hosts of the syndicated \u201cStreetz Morning Takeover\u201d are Mz Shyneka & Shawty Shawty.<\/p>\n

Veteran radio programmer Steve Hegwood, whose Atlanta-based Core Radio Group has been expanding its hip hop \u201cStreetz\u201d brand on HD2 signals and translators across the country, is behind the venture.<\/p>\n

Two previous efforts to program music formats on 95.1 FM proved unprofitable.<\/p>\n

Chicago\u2019s principal hip hop stations are iHeartMedia\u2019s WGCI 107.5-FM and Crawford Broadcasting\u2019s WPWX 92.3-FM.<\/p>\n

Wednesday\u2019s comment of the day:<\/a> Kelley S. Dorner:<\/strong> Sadly, just when Chicago dining finally opens in full, we'll have no one to recommend which restaurants are open, have reopened, have reinvented themselves, or who couldn't survive. Chicago was once a top city for fine dining. Will be difficult to navigate the complexities of local cuisine without our trusted guides.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
