Starting in Spring/Summer of 2015, CHIRP will begin broadcasting at 107.1 FM on a low-power license! Considering the fact that when I started volunteering at CHIRP it was federally prohibited from receiving a LPFM license in a dense urban area, therefore restricting the station to web-based broadcast, this is a big fucking deal. I'm stoked! This is going to change our listenership significantly, I promise.
