BPR Classic is now broadcasting a substantially stronger signal in the Asheville area, which means that an additional 200,000 people are able to tune in! Regular Classic listeners in Asheville should listen on 90.5 FM instead of 107.9 FM for better reception and a clearer signal.
The state is putting $800 million towards home repair, but due to a city policy decision, Asheville has to pay its own way.
