The Dallas City Council voted unanimously on Wednesday to transfer management of WRR-FM, the city-owned classical station, to public television and radio operator KERA.
Under the deal, WRR will be run by KERA, but owned by the city. WRR will remain a classical music station, but switch from a commercial to noncommercial format. It will operate from its Fair Park studios for at least the next seven years.
In public comments, a total of 10 WRR supporters and representatives from KERA, WRR and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, speaking both in person and virtually, urged the City Council to vote yes. Speakers repeatedly emphasized the importance of WRR in making classical music accessible to Dallas listeners, online and on the radio., told vignettes about the significance of the station for listeners.
“You can put a price on a radio station,” she added, but “you cannot put a price on the community enrichment that comes with keeping WRR if you just give it and KERA a chance to show you.”
