Public license information |
TPR acquired the license in 2021 from Portsmouth Abbey School, a Benedictine institution, which had established it as a classical music station under the WJHD call letters in 1972. After nearly 50 years, the station was taken off the air in 2021 and the license sold.
It is currently operating at low power under Special Temporary Authority from the FCC as TPR seeks to relocate to a new transmitter site off the Portsmouth Abbey School campus.
