WQED FM Is Currently Off the Air
WQED-FM Is Currently Not Available On The Radio, But There are Others Ways To Listen
Damage to the transmission line located 350 feet up the WQED tower has caused our over-the-air radio signal to go silent, preventing listeners from hearing WQED-Classical FM on their car or home radios. A tower crew is expected on-site by the end of the week to begin repairs. We promise to keep you informed as the work progresses.
While our transmitter is being fixed, your WQED-FM may not be available on the radio, but there are still many ways to enjoy Jim Cunningham, Anna Singer, and all the classics that you appreciate. If you do not have the WQED-FM app, now is the time to get it, and it’s free and available on the Google Play Store and Apple Store. With the WQED Classical FM app, you are one tap away from live radio streams, podcasts, and more. Whenever. Wherever. WQED-FM – We’re at your command.
You can also easily access WQED-FM by asking your favorite smart device, such as Alexa, to play WQED-FM, or listen by clicking the links below.
