WRR (101.1 MHz) is a listener-supported, non-commercial FM radio station in Dallas, Texas, which provides a full-time classical music radio format. While it is municipally-owned by the City of Dallas, it is operated by North Texas Public Broadcasting, the owner of news-talk public radio station KERA 90.1 FM, public television station KERA-TV channel 13, and adult album alternative station KKXT 91.7 FM. WRR's studios are in the Fair Park complex in South Dallas.
WRR is a Class C station. It has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 100,000 watts, and transmits an HD Radio signal.[3] The transmitter tower is on West Belt Line Road in Cedar Hill.[4]
Over the years, private broadcasters in the Dallas-Fort Worth radio market have made numerous but unsuccessful calls for privatizing the station. In January 2023, it transitioned from a commercial radio station to non-profit and listener-supported.[5]
