About the station

WQHT, known as Hot 97, broadcasts from New York and can be received on FM at 97.1 MHz. The station stands for hip-hop and R&B and has over the decades established itself as a permanent address for these styles in the city’s music scene.

The music programme focuses on current titles from US rap and R&B, supplemented by classics that document the development of these genres. The station sees itself as a platform for artists from New York and beyond and follows the scene closely, for example with interviews and live performances in the studio.
