WLUW

WLUW (88.7 FM) is a college radio station owned and operated by Loyola University Chicago, serving the north side of Chicago, Illinois, as well as Skokie and Evanston.

History
WLUW began broadcasting in 1979. The station was originally as "The Hitline", then "High Energy 88-7 FM" in the late 1980s, and then simply "Energy 88-7". In the mid-1990s the station changed radio formats to 88.7 Listener Supported Community Radio. Loyola University Chicago ceased funding WLUW in 2002, turning over operational control of the station to WBEZ. In 2008, Loyola resumed control of the station.
