After a long-delay, WHPK-FM (aka "The Pride of the South Side") has finally stepped into the '90s and launched their own live broadcast Webstream on The Internets!
All kidding aside, this is a long overdue development that will finally give music fans outside of Hyde Park a chance to hear arguably the city's best kept radio secret. Format-wise, the station very similar to WLUW (college rock, specialty shows, public affairs), only with more of a minimalist aesthetic ala WNUR. So if you find NUR too "difficult" and LUW too "needy," you now have a nice option somewhere in between on your Winamp player. Click below to start streaming:
Someone really cleaned up the web radio signal because it is now clear as a crystal bell. The sound is excellent almost perfect.

The audio is very scratchy on this stream-cast! :o(

So near and yet so far. After finally finding the website, I discover I cannot use real player to listen to WHPK on the net. Even people in Chicago cannot listen to this great station unless they live within a 50 block radius of the station on the FM band.
