[edit] History

WPHR, which signed in 1981 as WPCX, began targeting the area as Smooth Jazz WHCD in 1997. By 2000 it would flip to Urban Contemporary, in an attempt to complement their Rhythmic-leaning Top 40 sister station WWHT-FM and to fill the void left open by WRDS, who lasted one year in the format. But after three years they would evolve into its current direction, focusing on targeting the African-American community and in the process allowing WWHT to expand their Rhythmic-heavy playlist with the R&B/Hip-Hop product.
