As we teased in our 4/2 Domain Insight, Steve Hegwood’s Core Communicators launched Hip Hop “Streetz 95.1”
The new brand is airing on Windy City Broadcasting’s 95.1 W236CF Chicago and 95.1 W236CG Bolingbrook fed from Univision’s 105.1 WOJO-HD2 Chicago. Those translators had been operating as Adult R&B “95.1 Chicago” until that brand moved online only at the end of March.
The new station will air the Atlanta based “Streetz Morning Takeover” hosted by Yung Joc, Mz Shyneka and Shawty The Comedian starting April 26.
Core operates the “Streetz” brand in multiple markets including Atlanta, Charlotte and Norfolk.
Effective April 15, 2021, Core Radio Group of Chicago will launch Streetz 95.1/105.1 HD2. Streetz will be heard on W236CF 95.1, W236CG 95.1 AND WOJO 105.1 HD2

The station will be anchored by “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta” star Yung Joc and the Streetz Morning Takeover with Mz Shyneka and Shawty Shawty from 5-9AM weekdays.
President/CEO OF Core Steve Hegwood states, “I was born and raised in Milwaukee Wisconsin 90 miles away, Chicago has always had a special place in my heart! We feel our Streetz brand is more than just music is a true lifestyle on air, through social media and in the community, we are excited to bring it to Chicago.”
