Thanksgiving celebrations may look different for many of us this year, but the challenges 2020 has brought can also help remind us to appreciate the things that matter most. Here at WHRO FM, we are so grateful for the richness that music brings to our lives, and for the opportunity to share that music with you. As always, we’ll bring you warm and joyful music throughout the day to accompany your holiday celebrations. In addition to our local programming with your favorite WHRO hosts, we will also offer some special programs for your enjoyment on Thanksgiving Day.
