Quiet Storm Quietly Expands
• The long-running and extremely popular Quiet Storm show on Howard University’s WHUR/Washington continues to expand its footprint — in December a dedicated “Quiet Storm Station” launched on WHUR-HD2, and now, that slow jams format further extends its reach with a new Quiet Storm Station signal on a translator tuned to 98.3FM — formerly the home of WTOP-HD3‘s “The Gamut.”
The Quiet Storm Station holds true to the original flavor of the Quiet Storm set in place back in 1976 by the late Melvin Lindsey and still heard nightly on 96.3 WHUR.
This latest expansion comes as WHUR-FM is set to mark its 50th anniversary this year. “WHUR has long been a trailblazer in the industry and we are always looking for new opportunities to expand our brand,” said WHUR General Manager Sean Plater. “The addition of 98.3FM now allows us to have a greater reach across the DMV.” Plater added, “Whether in your office, car, or at home — The Quiet Storm Station sets the right mood for the DMV, and now with 98.3FM there are more ways for Washington to relax and unwind.” The Quiet Storm Station is also available online at thequietstormstation.com and on The Quiet Storm Station mobile app.
