WHUR-WORLD, the high quality digital HD2 channel of WHUR-FM, is
a progressive mix of music and information:
- whose
roots are embedded in the original WHUR concept of “360
degrees of Total Blackness”
- whose broadcast reach is extended
by the world wide web
- whose purpose is to offer an alternative
multicast of programming that entertains, educates, addresses
social problems, and provides
context for a mature adult listening audience
WHUR-WORLD is a
new high definition radio channel broadcasting culturally rich
content to a diverse audience on the WHUR-FM
HD Radio network.
Both
music and information on WHUR-WORLD will help listeners
understand—in
keeping with Howard University’s mission – “America
and the Global Community.” The music and information are
intended to entertain, to inspire creative thought and imagination,
and, as appropriate, to change mental perspectives and viewpoints.
The music is an intensive blend of Classic Jazz, Rhythm & Blues,
Hip Hop, Blues, African-American Folk, and World. Similarly, the
non-music information provides context drawing upon multiple cultural
sites.
