As well as being available via a number of low-power translators as far apart as Brevard, Bryson City, Hendersonville, and Waynesville,[3] BPR Classic is carried on WZQS (90.5 FM) in Cullowhee and the second HD Radio channel of WCQS. It is also streamed live via the Blue Ridge Public Radio mobile app and on the station's website, making it available over a much wider area than its FM reach alone would allow.[4][5][6]
