IN 2013, HD DIGITAL RADIO OFFERS CLASSICAL MUSIC (AND MORE) FROM WPR
HD digital radio broadcasts are available from Wisconsin Public Radio throughout southwestern Wisconsin. These "high definition" digital stations also serve the adjoining portions of Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois.
Our "HD1" broadcasts on each of these stations offer a better quality sound of WPR's regular programs; "HD2" broadcasts offer additional channels of programming not normally available on the typical FM or HD1 stations.
90.3 WHLA-HD2 and 91.3 WHHI-HD2 feature WPR's 24-hour classical music network, WPR Classical.
88.9 WLSU-HD2 is currently broadcasting the NPR News and Classical Music network from WPR, simulcasting most of the same programs already on 88.9 WLSU-FM/HD1, but offering an alternate overnight classical music service. Additional programs will be added to WLSU-HD2 in the months ahead.
91.3 WHHI-HD3 broadcasts WPR's full-time NPR News and Classical Music network.
MORE ON HD RADIO...
HD radio broadcasts result in two significant changes for listeners with HD radio receivers:
* First, it enhances the sound of a station's existing programs by improving the signal to a CD-quality listening experience.
* Second, it allows FM radio stations to add additional channels of programming to better serve listeners who have HD radio receivers. (The station's main programming is heard on HD1, while additional programming can be heard on HD2, HD3, etc.)
Early in 2007 88.9 WLSU-FM introduced the first full-time HD radio signal to La Crosse. In September 2008 WPR upgraded Ideas 90.3 WHLA, La Crosse, to HD. Ideas 91.3 WHHI, Highland, has also been upgraded to HD.
