history
WQXR started operations in 1964 as WHBI . WQXR-FM was the FM variant of the "high-fidelity" medium wave station WQXR 1560 kHz, which had already started broadcasting in 1936.
At the end of 2016, listeners complained about problems with receiving the station. A pirate station disrupted the WQXR program with its program, which consisted of recitations from the Torah . According to the New York State Broadcaster's Association, around a hundred pirate stations operate in New York with a particularly high density in Brooklyn.
As a digital channel, WQXR broadcasts the program "Q2 Music" on its HD2 channel.
