Classical HQR’s signal at 92-7 FM is off the air. We are working on diagnosing the exact cause of the issue and will move as quickly as possible to get it repaired, but we are hoping to have it fixed by next week. Classical is on air at 96.7fm in Southport, on HD2 and streaming on all devices. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Commentator Nan Graham is not one to catch the vapors easily. But at a recent ceremony honoring her Revolutionary relatives, Nan falls unconscious, and awakens face-to-face with an unfamiliar Patriot. The question is: have they both passed on or is this remnant of the past very much in the present? Either way, Nan isn't going anywhere without her tomatoes.
