Starting June 21, 2017, Bluegrass Country radio will no longer broadcast over 105.5 FM in the Washington, DC area. The station will continue to broadcast over 88.5 FM HD Channel 2, streaming at bluegrasscountry.org and via our smart phone apps for iOS and Android devices.
The 105.5 FM signal is owned by a third party with whom the station was unable to reach a contract agreement going forward. About two-thirds of Bluegrass Country listeners already hear our broadcast via HD radio and the Internet at bluegrasscountry.org.
“While the loss of 105.5 FM will be frustrating for a group of our listeners, we will work hard to help them make the transition to new HD and Internet listening modes,” said Jeff Ludin, president of the Bluegrass Country Foundation.
The 88.5 FM HD Channel 2 signal delivers better sound quality with a much larger broadcast range. HD radios for home and car are reasonably priced and easy to install. Many newer cars come with an HD radio as standard equipment. Listeners can find out more about how to tune into Bluegrass Country in HD here.
Bluegrass Country is the oldest radio station of its kind in America. For more than 50 years, we have broadcast the best in bluegrass, Americana and roots music. Our programming is curated by deejays, not algorithms. Visit us at bluegrasscountry.org.
