WRR (101.1 MHz) is a municipally-owned non-commercial FM radio station in Dallas, Texas, which provides a full-time classical music radio format, and operated by North Texas Public Broadcasting, Inc. North Texas Public Broadcasting is the owner of public radio News/Talk station KERA (FM) (NPR), public television station station KERA-TV (PBS), and Triple-A formatted KKXT. The station's studios are located in the Fair Park complex in South Dallas. The transmitter site is on West Belt Line Road in Cedar Hill. WRR operates with a maximum effective radiated power (ERP) of 100,000 watts, and transmits an HD Radio signal. Over the years, private broadcasters in the Dallas-Fort Worth radio market have made numerous but unsuccessful calls for privatizing the station. History Early years WRR-FM began experimental broadcasts in 1948. It officially signed on the air on October 14, 1949. It began operations as a sister station to WRR (1310 AM, now KTCK), which was first licensed for municipal and police transmissions on August 5, 1921. It received an AM band broadcasting station license on March 13, 1922. In its first few decades, WRR-FM mostly simulcasted its AM counterpart, and the stations were network affiliates of the Mutual Broadcasting System and carried its schedule of comedies, dramas, news and sports during the "Golden Age of Radio." WRR-AM-FM later switched to the NBC Radio Network. Classical music As network programming shifted to television, WRR-FM began airing classical music full time, while the AM station concentrated on news, talk and information. The City of Dallas sold WRR to Bonneville International in 1978, who switched the call sign to KAAM. Meanwhile, the Dallas government kept WRR-FM, which continued its classical format. Also in the 1970s, the station increased its power to 100,000 watts, from its previous output of 68,000 watts. Dallas City Council As part of its municipal ownership, WRR began broadcasting Dallas City Council meetings in 1978. They usually took place every other Wednesday at 9 a.m. In later years, however, Portable People Meter (PPM) evidence showed that the meetings, which interrupted the classical format, caused a significant drop in the station's ratings. The station averages more than 11,000 listeners on weekdays, according to Nielsen Audio; that number dropped to 1,900 during council meetings. In 2018, station management was able to convince the city council to end the broadcasts. The meetings are still available on cable television in Dallas, as well as online. In July
