WRR Classical 101.1 FM: The First Radio Station In Texas, est. 1921

Billed as radio for the 21st Century and the most significant advancement in radio since the introduction of FM radio 50 years ago, HD Radio is at WRR.

Developed by iBiquity Digital Corporation, HD Radio has been more than 10 years in the making. The technology allows for compact-disc-like quality audio signals to radio receivers along with new wireless data services such as station, song and artist identification, stock and news information, local traffic and weather, and more. It also allows broadcasters to use the current radio spectrum to transmit FM analog simultaneously with new higher quality digital signals. These digital signals eliminate the static, hiss, pops and fades associated with today's radio.

To completely benefit from HD Radio, listeners will need a receiver with HD Radio technology, but everyone should notice improvements in how the music sounds. Several companies are offering HD radios, and as additional companies, such as Sony and Bose, introduce HD Radios the price of the units will become more competitive. Currently, HD Radios are available for vehicle installation and some auto manufacturers are installing them in 2006 models.
