101.1 FM WRR is a Classical station owned by the city of Dallas, Texas.  They are the oldest same-owner radio station in the United States having gone on the air in 1949.  The 100,000-watt outlet has carried a full-time Classical format since 1964.  WRR FM is the former sister station of WRR (1310 AM, currently KTCK) which was the first station licensed in Texas and one of the first five licensed in the US.  Despite it being owned by a municipality, WRR does not operate at taxpayer expense but runs as a commercial entity generating revenue through advertising and sponsorships.
