Chicago's urban music alternative. Vocalo Radio 91.1 FM.
Chicago has a rich music identity that gets no play on commercial radio. Urban stations in Chicago overlook local talent and promote Top 40 song formats that don’t celebrate our cultural diversity.
We’re non-commercial. Independent. We care about more than celebrity gossip. We care about you. Our city. Our communities.
Vocalo gives voice to those that enrich our city culturally and socially.
We’re more than just a music station. We’re Real Music. Real Talk. Real Chicago.
Vocalo Radio 91.1FM is Chicago's Urban Alternative and an NPR Music affiliate. The station features a variety of content including news, entertainment, culture, and things to do in Chicago. Listeners can find information on local music events, artist interviews, and curated playlists.
