WKHR Streaming Fixed

We had a problem over the last 48 hours with the online audio stream. It appears that our stream provider reverted to an old configuration. We've updated everything and we are now broadcasting loud and clear!
Thanks for you your patience. And thank you for listening.

FM 91.5 - 2011 Radiothon!!

This year’s radiothon is almost over. The volunteers will be heading home on Saturday night so we ask that you hurry and make your pledge now! 440.708.0915 or online http://www.wkhr.org/

Please remember that we are 100%, entirely, unquestionably, at your mercy. YOU KEEP US ON THE AIR. Without your support, we cannot keep bringing you the music you love.

As you all know, not a day goes by without rates increasing. We are in the same boat. Luckily we get some breaks for being a non-profit, so this is why we're able to barely get by on your donations alone. The alternative? Commercials… or worse.

Please help keep FM 91.5 commercial free!

Call up now and make your pledge: 440.708.0915

Or you can always donate online at: http://www.wkhr.org/

Thank you for being our listeners!

P.S. If you don’t have the means to donate, please don’t. That’s not who we are. Instead, we would appreciate it if you would tell some of your friends & neighbors (not necessarily one in the same) about us!!

Ice Storm Kills Power to Main Transmitter

WKHR lost electrical power to its main transmitter early on Feb. 21 when an ice storm brought down a tree on the power lines that feed our transmitter site in Newbury. We were forced to broadcast from our backup transmitter from that time until noon on Feb. 23... at which time First Energy Co. restored power to the main transmitter site.

The backup transmitter does not provide coverage to all of our normal listening area so many people who usually listen to WKHR were unable to do so during this period. This problem was due to conditions beyond our control. Nonetheless, we apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your phone calls and emails. We greatly appreciate your continuing support.

Bye Bill

FM 91-FIVE is heartbroken at the loss of our long-time Chief Engineer William Wiesinger, who recently left us. Bill was one on the main architects of the station, working tirelessly to build one of the most unique stations in the country. He was known to all as Uncle Bill, because of his good nature and vibrant personality.

We would not be FM 91-FIVE if it wasnt for Bill, and his passing has left a void in the WKHR family that will never be filled.

Thank You Bill, for everything! We'll Be Seeing You!

Our New Antenna Is Up And Running!


On Monday, 8/30/10, we installed a new antenna (pictured right). The new antenna will function properly under all weather conditions and should provide more uniform signal coverage than the original antenna.


We would appreciate reports (a message here or call 440 708 0915) about whether reception in your geographical area is better, about the same or worse than before the 30th. Thanks.

New Antenna Progress

The new antenna has been ordered from ERI, a prominent manufacturer of FM broadcast antennas. It will be a 2-bay design custom made to match our frequency of 91.5 MHz. Installation is tentatively scheduled for August. During the installation process, which will take several hours, WKHR will remain on the air broadcasting via auxiliary facilities.
