WLRH 89.3 FM/HD operates from the UAH campus in Huntsville, Alabama as the state's original public radio station, offering a blend of music, news, and entertainment drawn from major public media networks and complemented by local programs produced by staff and volunteers. The station also runs three HD channels: HD1 reproduces the main signal, HD2 provides a 24-hour classical service, and HD3 features a wide range of news and talk programming. WLRH serves the Tennessee Valley, reaching roughly 60 miles in all directions from its transmitter on Monte Sano and extending coverage to Ft. Payne at 104.5 FM. It maintains a small to mid-sized local team and offers underwriting opportunities that let sponsors air messages and receive underwriting credits, with details coordinated through Elaine Oakes. In 2023, the station expanded its news presence by hiring several NPR correspondents, reflecting ongoing development of its public radio coverage.
