About the station
88.1 WCQS broadcasts in western North Carolina and is part of Blue Ridge Public Radio, a public radio service based in the Asheville region. The station focuses on news: regional and statewide reports from North Carolina form the core of the programming, supplemented by national news from the NPR network. Topics such as education, health, environment, arts and regional politics are organized into separate sections on the station’s website.
Alongside its news service, Blue Ridge Public Radio operates a second pillar with BPR Classic. It features classical music, a late-night program with jazz, and weekend shows. The music therefore runs separately from the information programs of the main channel.
The station can be received on FM at 88.1 MHz. The website offers a frequency search for the region, as well as online streams, a mobile app and offerings for smart speakers. The program is also available as a podcast and in text form.
