HD Radio
What is HD Radio on WWNO?
HD Radio allows WWNO to broadcast news, music and other radio programs digitally, on the same frequency as the station’s traditional signal, and with “CD-quality” sound, virtually eliminating the static, signal fading, and pops typical of analog radio. The technology also allows for new data services such as artist and song title, traffic updates, and weather services. Unlike digital “satellite” or subscription radio, HD radio is free to all listeners with an HD receiver.
The HD radio website is filled with information, from a technical explanation of the technology, to retailers where you can buy HD radios and related equipment.
You can also find many options, for your home and car, on Amazon.com.
What are WWNO’s HD Channels?
WWNO offers three HD channels, and three offer continual broadcasting 24 hours a day throughout the year.
- WWNO1 broadcasts the same programming as the traditional 89.9 analog signal.
- WWNO2 complements the main signal, presenting classical music 24 hours a day. By switching between the two, listeners can “mix their own WWNO,” to suit their preference.
- WWNO3 presents jazz all the time — instrumental, vocal, classic, and emerging talent. The WWNO3 schedule brings you the widest range of this great American musical art form.
