Whether you've been enjoying our classical music to help life's challenges or are thrilled to have our local, independent programming back on the air, know that our roots are firmly planted in our community. WHFR Radio has been committed to providing programming that is little else (or not at all) heard on the metro Detroit radio dial for 35 years. With original musical styles from talented and creative area artists and great local talk – we air what other stations won't.

WHFR's Radiothon 2021 is coming soon...

Be sure to listen for special programming and features including blasts from our early days in local radio from former WHFR DJs, local bands and artists, and lots of ways to support WHFR as we keep our roots planted in local radio and our wonderful community!
