Whur-FM Howard University Radio

Located in Washington, DC on the campus of Howard University (THE REAL HU), WHUR — FM 96.3 is one of very few university-​owned commercial radio station in the U.S. Broadcasting since 1971, this radio station is the only stand-​alone radio station in Washington, DC.
The home of the «original quiet storm» 96.3 specializes in playing old school and new R&B, with some gospel and a little talk radio. Not a fan, but they have The Steve Harvey radio show on in the morning and slow jams at night. Like your typical radio station, they have several charity drives throughout the year to raise money for various charities and they have contest giveaways for various tickets for events throughout the area.
A historic and important part of the Washington, DC area, 96.3 continues to improve by broadcasting via the web and in HD. If you stop by to pick up any contest tickets, bring someone with you to sit in your car because the parking in the area is very scarce.

I’ve been listening to WHUR since I was a girl and Melvin Lindsey was on the radio. Now, I not only still love the The Original Quiet Storm, but I can’t live without the Sunday Afternoon Gospel, The Daily Drum, (yes!) The Hang Suite, and Feel Good Overnights! All around, this station plays some great music!
This station also puts on some fantastic events! Way back in the day, before it was Babes, before it was Gallery, I attended some after work party hosted by WHUR at Izora’s. Yes, Izora’s. That name is a blast from the past, isn’t it? I caught a T-​shirt thrown into the crowd by some station employee. I still have it today! (I rarely wear it because it’s an XL men’s and just hangs off me but that is another matter.) Now, I want to attend the floating office party next week. Maybe I’ll catch a t-​shirt that fits.
WHUR-​FM 96.3. Woohoo! As good as it gets!
