WLRH (89.3 FM), branded as "WLRH 89.3 FM/HD Huntsville," is an American public radio station located in Huntsville, Alabama, the state's first such broadcaster. It offers music, news, cultural and entertainment programming from American Public Media, the Public Radio Exchange, and other nationally-recognized public media outlets, as well as airing several local shows produced by staff and volunteers. Until October 1, 2025, it also aired programming from National Public Radio until the station dropped programming from the network due to a decision by station owner Alabama Public Television. WLRH provides three HD channels. The HD1 signal is a digital version of the main WLRH signal, the HD2 signal is a 24-hour classical music service, and the HD3 signal provides news and talk programs. WLRH serves an area roughly 60 miles in all directions from its transmitter on Monte Sano Mountain, located on the city's eastern end, including north-central Alabama and south-central Tennessee, as well as northeastern Alabama (Fort Payne) via a translator.
