Located in Washington,
D.C., WHUR FM 96.3 is a 24-hour stereo
station with a competitive
signal pumping 24,000 watts of power enabling it to reach
north of Baltimore, Maryland and as far south as the outskirts of
Richmond, Virginia. As one of the few university-owned commercial
stations in America, we serve Washington's business and public
communities.
WHUR is known as
a trend setter in the Washington 50-station radio market.
Starting out below the Top 20 ranked stations,
WHUR is now a consistent Top 5 ranked station!!
Through the years, we have made a strong
impact combining both contemporary and soft sophisticated urban programming.
In 1976, WHUR initiated the renowned and often imitated
Quiet Storm®
format...one that has dominated its time period for many years.
The growth of a loyal audience of Washington radio listeners has
prompted stations across the U.S. to introduce this popular format
into their own operations.
In the Fall of 1985,
WHUR made history again
by becoming the first college-owned
commercial FM radio station in the nation to win a No.1 slot.
With this year's addition of the "Hardest Working Man in Radio"
Tom Joyner, to the WHUR family, our listeners are treated to
his renowned morning show every week day from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.
The Tom Joyner Morning Show is currently the number one show in
the Washington Metropolitan Area.
WHUR is celebrating
25 years on the air and our fifth consecutive No.1 Arbitron
rating among adults ages 25-49.
WHUR
management consists of an array of
professional broadcasters...executives who bring many years of
experience from radio and TV stations, newspapers, networks, and
wire and rating services.
