WLS 94.7-FM Chicago, IL

WLS 94.7-FM Chicago, IL sits at 460 of 1,481 in the United States' listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

With four recorded opens, WLS 94.7-FM Chicago, IL sits in the part of the directory where the numbers stop discriminating. The station's position in the United States' list should be read as approximate for exactly that reason.

Tagged classic hits, along with 11 other stations in the country and 61 across the directory.

At 80 kbps, this sits below most of the United States' listing, whose median is 128 kbps. 49% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better, so the dial around it is mostly higher.

The audio comes from playerservices.streamtheworld.com, and 53 other stations in the United States are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of the United States' listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
