HD Radio
WRHM airs Ideas Network programming on its third HD Radio subchannel–the first such arrangement in the WPR network. This is because most of north-central Wisconsin does not have a clear 24-hour signal from the Ideas Network. Sister station WLBL-AM in Auburndale must reduce its power to an all-but unlistenable level at night, while WLBL-FM in Wausau is maintained under a time-share arrangement with WXPW which splits that signal's time among the two organizations. In September 2017, the WHRM-HD3 signal began to be translated full-time as an analog signal over W267BB (101.3) in the Wausau area.
The network's HD2 Classical Service is aired on WHRM-HD2.
