Program

Live at Five

Daily, 5–7pm America/Chicago. Live Concerts only. Two hours. No chatter.

Chicago time

When the clock hits five in Chicago, the outpost stops talking and plays concerts. Not a countdown. Not a request line. Two hours of live recordings, then the regular freeform shift takes the chair back.

5:00–7:00pm CT · Live Concerts · no DJ talk over the music

Listen live Direct stream

The player is badradio.rocks. The raw MP3 mount is stream.badradio.rocks. If you want the station to keep the block, Patreon is the door.
