WRRG’s youngest DJ is high school freshman Dean Winnick of Franklin Park. If you’ve tuned into 88.9 FM on Sunday afternoons, you’ve likely heard The Dean Winnick Show, which airs weekly from 1 to 3 p.m. Winnick began disc jockeying last year at Triton College’s noncommercial radio station, where he plays a mix of new tracks and classics, spotlighting emerging indie artists. Winnick’s musical taste spans several decades, from the 1960s through the 1990s. His favorites include Pink Floyd, The Beatles, AC/DC, Van Halen, Wham!, Nirvana, The Pixies and David Bowie. His love of music and radio grew from his parents. He fondly recalls cruising around in the car with his mother, listening to WTMX Chicago’s 101.9 FM, The Mix, and waiting expectantly as the DJ played the next track. WRRG marked 50 years on the air last year. Since its first broadcast April 28, 1975, WRRG has remained dedicated to delivering diverse music, campus news and local events. Daytime programming features indie artists, while evenings and weekends include blues, underground and progressive rock, R&B and soul, reggae and ska, house, heavy metal and jazz.
