WFHB FireHouse Broadcasting

WFHB will install a new digital transmitter this Sunday, August 29th, according to station manager Will Murphy. “This weekend marks the realization of more than a year’s work,” he noted, “from the first planning stages, through fundraising, and now to implementation. The new equipment will provide our listeners with a higher-quality signal, and will allow us to expand our programming possibilities.” Murphy said WFHB listeners would still be able to pick up the station’s analog signal, and wouldn’t need a digital radio to receive its programming.
