Howard University Radio will debut its SiriusXM satellite channel “HUR Voices” on Dec. 1, pioneering the way for HBCU-related radio content to reach a nationwide audience. The channel will feature content produced for the campuses terrestrial station, WHUR 96.3, and will feature new shows and personalities for the satellite edition.
Howard owns and operates one of the few university-owned commercial stations in the US, WHUR-FM, which programs for a largely urban African-American audience in Washington, DC and celebrates its 40th anniversary on Dec. 10. The university’s new satellite channel is called H.U.R. Voices and will air a mix of programs produced at WHUR, like the daily public affairs program “Daily Drum,” along with new programs produced for SiriusXM.
