WFMT 98.7 has broadcast classical music in Chicago since December 1951, when Bernard and Rita Jacobs put the station on air with a mission to serve the fine arts. Now part of the WTTW public media family, it is as much a producer as a broadcaster: the WFMT Radio Network syndicates concerts and programmes — including the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Lyric Opera — to stations worldwide. This high-quality AAC stream carries its mix of core repertoire, live performances and arts journalism.
