WRHS (FM)
WRHS (103.1 MHz) is a non-commercial FM radio station licensed to Grasonville, Maryland, broadcasting mainly to the Annapolis - Anne Arundel County area and the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Owned by Peter & John Radio Fellowship, Inc., WRHS rebroadcasts the Christian adult contemporary format of co-owned WRBS-FM. The stations are branded on-air as Bright-FM. The studios and offices are off Commerce Drive near Interstate 95 in Halethorpe, Maryland, using a Baltimore address.
The transmitter is off Bennett Point Road in Graysonville, on Maryland's Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay. It is a "Class A" FM radio station. Programming is also simulcast on 104.7 WRYS in Hagerstown.
WAQA signed on the air in 1979 and was founded by Edward Mason De Maso. The original call sign was WAQA, airing a hot adult contemporary/Top 40 format. It was known as Super Q103 with 3,000 watts from a tower at Kent Narrows, Maryland. The studio and tower were co-located.
In 1981, the call letters were changed to WBEY and the format flipped to country. The station was known as Bay Country 103.
In early 1991, Vision Broadcasting purchased 103.1 and changed the call letters to WHVY and the format to active rock with an emphasis on heavy metal. The WHVY call letters and format were moved from low-power night-time-only non-commercial 96.7 in Baltimore (97 Underground) to 103.1. The studio was moved to Annapolis with a secondary studio maintained at the transmitter site.
In December 1992, the active rock format was tweaked some and the call letters were changed to WXZL. The station also increased its power to 6,000 watts from a new tower about 4 miles east of the original tower location.
The station changed its calls to WRNR-FM in 1994. Empire Broadcasting System acquired the station in 1997.
During this era, WRNR-FM's studios were located in Annapolis on Admiral Cochrane Drive. The official music format for WRNR-FM was adult album alternative, but the station added a lot to that format musically with deep tracks of classic rock, new alternative rock, vintage alternative rock, reggae, roots rock, and more. They are credited as one of the radio stations that helped launch the bands "Wilco" and many others. WRNR-FM was one of the few independent radio stations in the Baltimore-Washington area.
