format. Until 2017, its HD signal broadcast on three streams. HD1 was a simulcast of the analog FM signal's NPR and classical music format. HD2 was a simulcast of the Classical 24 classical music channel, which airs on the main signal from 7 pm to 5 am. HD3 was a simulcast of WKAR (870 AM), continuing from local sunset to sunrise when the AM station is not broadcasting. It was also simulcast on a low-powered translator at 105.1 FM giving most of the Lansing area access to a locally focused NPR news and talk station. As of June 30, 2017, WKAR-FM has discontinued HD Radio services. However, the classical stream remained, and has since been augmented with streams of the Lansing area's radio reading service along with a jazz channel.
