For the first 20 years of its existence , the network broadcast a mix of classical music , jazz and NPR talk . However , starting in the late 1990s , WNPR began gradually increasing the news programming on its schedule . One of the first casualties of this change was the popular classical music program '' Morning pro musica , '' which was fed from WGBH-FM in Boston . The program had aired on WNPR as part of the terms by which the Friends of WFCR sold the 90.5 frequency to CPBI . However , by the late 1990s , this resulted in WNPR only being able to run the first hour of '' Morning Edition . '' Ultimately , WNPR decided to cancel '' Morning pro musica , '' even though network executives knew it would cause a major loss in funding , though the change of direction in news-heavy NPR member stations , especially after the September 11 attacks occurred , made the format change palatable . Ultimately , in 2006 , WNPR dropped classical music altogether in favor of a full-time news and information format . In 2013 , the station launched a new online service , WNPR News
