97.1 The Drive is WDRV, Chicago’s classic rock station. Start the WDRV live stream above to hear rock favorites spanning multiple generations, then use the recently played section to identify songs supplied by the station’s official StreamTheWorld metadata.
The weekday 97.1 The Drive schedule begins with The Sherman & Tingle Show, followed by Janda Lane, Tim Virgin and Lauren “Lern” Elwell. Times below are Central Time. Because WDRV does not publish a dependable complete weekend grid, Saturday and Sunday remain clearly labeled as general classic-rock programming.

The station is owned by Hubbard Broadcasting through Chicago FCC License Sub, LLC. Its current Chicago sister stations are WTMX 101.9 The Mix and WTBC Throwback 100.3; WWDV carries the same The Drive service on 96.9 FM.
