Ben Leubsdorf of the Concord Monitor reports that Classical WCNH 91.5 in Concord NH has moved into the same building as New Hampshire Public Radio. The station began transmitting as a low power in 2004, and has been at 190 watts, but is increasing its signal to 50,000 watts via WEVO 89.1 FM’s HD2 channel. They’re also online and they have an iPhone app.
General Manager Harry Kozlowski says this is the first step toward a bigger goal.
When we formed Highland in 2000, that was our mission: not only to bring back classical music in Concord, but to build a statewide network.
New Hampshire Public Radio, NHPR stopped airing classical music in 2000, so this is a chance for them to redeem themselves with the classical audience, and WCNH will gain help with fundraising expertise and facilities.

RE; WCNH and New Hampshire Public Radio. Another independent classical station sunuggling up to a non-classical public broadcaster as in the case of WCRB/WGBH in Boston and WQXR/WNYC in New York, and in our case, WCLV and ideastream in Cleveland. Do I sense a trend here?

I would like to see WGBH/WCRB buy the stations WHHH & WWHQ. Then the fun would begin.
Correction, WNNH
