WHQR
WHQR is the National Public Radio (NPR) member station for Southeastern North Carolina, broadcasting on the FM band 91.3 MHz. Based in Wilmington and operated by Friends of Public Radio, Inc. (a community group). It airs NPR, American Public Media, Public Radio Exchange, and BBC programming as well as classical, jazz and adult album alternative music. WHQR hosts concerts, art receptions and events in their gallery space as well as live concerts from the Soup to Nuts Live program and monthly Classical concerts.
The station operates an FM translator station, W265EJ from Rose Hill on 100.9. WHQR also operates a sister classical music station called Classical HQR, broadcasting on the HD-2 stream as well as on translator W224CX from Wilmington on 92.7.
WHQR broadcasts in the HD radio format. Since April 2009, WHQR has broadcast Classical HQR on their HD2 sidechannel. Classical HQR specializes in classical music programming with local and national hosts.
The network consists of one class C radio station, 91.3 and 4 FM translators. All stations are referred to as either WHQR or Classical HQR. The call letters of the other stations are identified only during required station IDs at the start of each hour.
WHQR's 100,000-watt signal not only covers Wilmington but much of southeastern North Carolina including Jacksonville, Surf City, Oak Island, Whiteville, Elizabethtown, Wallace, Warsaw and Lumberton. The station once operated an FM repeater station, W255BZ from Myrtle Beach on 98.9. The translator expanded that signal to cover northeastern South Carolina, including Myrtle Beach, Conway, Dillion, and Marion Counties.
WHQR still owns the 96.7 translator in Brunswick County, which was used for the Classical HQR format from September 2014 to March 2016. The signal changed to 92.7 MHz, which increased the power from 98 to 250 watts. The 96.7 translator was moved to Southport, NC to broadcast Classical HQR to that community.
WHQR's sister classical music station called Classical HQR, broadcasts on the HD-2 stream as well as on translator W224CX from Wilmington on 92.7. It was also on W272CV from Myrtle Beach on 102.3, starting April 23, 2016, the birthday of Shakespeare and the day after the station's 32nd anniversary. As of June 6, 2022, that translator was being used by WNMB.
In addition to syndicated national programming, WHQR has local programs that are both talk and music shows. WHQR hosts local news on the 91.3 station and produces Coastline with Rachel Lewis Hiburn and the Newsroom with Ben Schachtman. There is also a short interview segment, Around Town with Rhonda Bellamy, about local cultural movers and shakers. WHQR also features several folk, jazz and adult album alternative local programming. WHQR also produces four podcasts including Cape Fear Rundown, Coastline, Port City Politics, and The Newsroom. The MC Erny Art Gallery space at the WHQR studios in the historic Warwick building in downtown Wilmington also hosts community events. There are six art shows per year and the gallery participates in Wilmington's Fourth Friday late night gallery event. There are eight Soup to Nuts Live concerts per year, which are then aired on the radio on the Saturday program. A Little Lunch Music is an informal concert hosted in the gallery on the first Friday of every month at noon.
