WRHI is a news/talk radio station in Rock Hill, South Carolina. It broadcasts on AM frequency 1340 with simulcasts on 94.3 FM and is under ownership of Our Three Sons (OTS) Broadcasting, LLP.

A majority (72%) of WRHI's programing is satellite driven. Like most radio stations across the country, the popularity of major-market syndiacated programs (i.e. Sean Hannity, the Dave Ramsey show, and Mike Gallager) continues to rise, while the production costs of carrying such programs are relatively inexpensive, leading station managers to carry such programs.

Throughout the day, WRHI carries Fox News Radio's 5-minute service at the top of every hour and local news and weather. ABC News' 1-minute update is carried at the bottom of each hour. WRHI is one of few radio stations across the country to be affiliated with more than one major radio news network. Local news is gathered with the local news staff, televison partner WSOC-TVand the South Carolina News Network.
