WHRO-FM

WHRO-FM is a Public Radio broadcast radio station, broadcasting a classical music format. WHRO is licensed to Norfolk, Virginia, serving Hampton Roads. WHRO-FM is owned and operated by the Hampton Roads Educational Telecommunications Association.
As early as 1983, a feasibility study indicated that Hampton Roads could support a second public radio station alongside HRETA's existing station, WHRO-FM at 89.5. However, it took until 1989 to obtain a construction permit for the second frequency, on 90.3. The new station signed on in 1990 and took all classical music programming from 89.5, as well as the WHRO-FM call letters. NPR programming remained on 89.5 under new calls, WHRV.
