Technical issues with the WQXR Flash player.

On December 3, 1936 WQXR became the first licensed high fidelity broadcaster in the U.S. after changing its call letters from W2XR.

We've increased the quality of the web stream on WQXR.org from 32k to 128k. That means the music you hear online will now be in stereo and as close to CD-quality as possible.

As WQXR's morning host, Jeff Spurgeon is a vital part of many listeners' morning routines. In the first of a series of host profiles, we ask Jeff about working the early shift, his favorite pieces, and the state of classical music today.

WQXR started broadcasting from 105.9 FM on October 8th. Watch the big moment unfold.

Joining WQXR veterans Jeff Spurgeon, Midge Woolsey and Elliott Forrest, are newcomer Naomi Lewin, and evening hosts Terrance McKnight and David Garland, who join the station from WNYC.

I’m delighted to welcome WQXR listeners to our expanded family of WNYC and public radio. The new WQXR brings a wonderful melding of old and new, with more content on the Web, collaborations with cultural institutions, and a repertoire infused with the vibrancy of New York City.

WQXR has a long and storied history. Our slideshow illustrates milestones from the eight decades that WQXR has been on the air in New York.
