Wgci-Fm 107.5

WCGI-​FM was king back in the day, but not any more. It’s not totally their fault. The quality of music in the R&B and rap/​hip-​hop genres has fallen way off over the past twenty-​five years. The only time I really hear this station these days is when I’m at the gym, and I’m tuning it out even then. Like too many mega corporate owned radio stations these days, it’s not about serving the listeners, but getting as much revenue as possible. It does appear that WCGI doesn’t rely as heavily on syndicated radio programs as other stations. One of the best moves they made in recent years was getting rid of «The Steve Harvey Morning Show». It’s not that Harvey’s show is bad, but it has an old school, «grown folks music» feel that did not fit with WGCI’s youth orientated format. They have a Sunday morning gospel music program, but it’s an odd mix of contemporary gospel tunes and what ever songs they claim are «inspirational».

Two songs… seven commercials… two more songs that just played on 92.3…three commercials… four songs… d.j. talking talking talking… five commercials… Repeat until you’re so annoyed you just kick in a c.d. That is all.

Blah… another corporate owned station. Same crap you will hear in every other city… dont even support local artist that much

I’ve been an avid listener to this station for many many years. Few things I need to get off my chest. WGCI IS NOT Chicago’s answer for Hip hop. For R&B and old school, OK. But don’t go tooting the hip hop horn. Numerous times have I called in for some Wu-​Tang goodness, KRS-​One, Redman, only to hear. well we’ll try to get it in. Then they don’t play the shit. This is CHICAGO. why don’t these bust ass DJ’s go talk to some Chicago artists and get them to drop us some funky freestyle on the radio. Also. why is it I have to wait till after midnight to hear any extra cool shit not found on Artists Cd’s. And if that EVER happens its only occasionally. I’m just annoyed with Chicago’s answer for hip hop radio. Just coming back from NYC, listening to Hot 97, wondering why can’t we have this in Chicago. BTW, I am talking about Hip hop not southern rap. The two are different.
Ever since the whole R. Kelly perversion, WGCI has done alot; to back this guy. WHY? Chicagoans know he is a perv. How many of us, have talked to peeps or have friends from that neighborhood and know he is in fact doing the shit he says he isn’t?
R. Kelly is a talented person. No doubt. I don’t feel correct listening to his music. What if he was thinking about 12 year olds when he wrote that song?! Blah!
I won’t give you guys two stars. cuz’ I still have to get my fix somewhere. but I’m warning you to start changing.
If it wasn’t for Power 92.3 I would have pimped my ride to satellite already.
