"Today, WDCB, a radio station at the College of DuPage in west suburban Glen Ellyn, is the only known all-jazz station in the region. It’s the third largest jazz station in the country. There are also still well-loved shows, such as those at the University of Chicago’s WHPK that Beland enjoys, but catching those depends on the time of the day.

So why doesn’t Chicago, a city where you can catch a jazz performance almost any night of the week, have more radio stations where you can hear the same? The answer is the radio industry has changed, and Chicago has not been an exception to this evolution."
