What's Happening?
WHQR has announced the addition of WBUR's 'On Point' to its weekday schedule starting Monday, September 8th. Hosted by Meghna Chakrabarti, 'On Point' offers a mix of original reporting, first-person stories, and in-depth analysis. The program will air weekdays from 12 PM to 1 PM on HQR News, 91-3 FM. This change results in the rescheduling of other programs, such as 'It's Been a Minute' and 'Wild Card,' which will move to Sunday afternoons. The station has also made adjustments to the airing times of 'Planet Money,' 'How I Built This,' and 'Radio Lab.'
