College kids and 30-something rock nerds who actually read album liner notes, not just casual listeners grabbing whatever Top 40 fed them.

Chicago’s real music lovers, the ones who wanted to hear the B-sides and local acts that barely got a nod on other stations, found a home in that deeper cut approach. It drew in people who respected the craft and energy behind the tunes, not just the hits.

People who actually spent their paychecks at record stores and wanted to dig past the radio sugar-those were the folks who latched onto XRT’s deeper cuts like a favorite hoodie. It’s the kind of crowd that gets giddy over a rare B-side by The Replacements, not just the singles everyone’s heard a million times.
