World Harvest Radio International

World Harvest Radio International (WHRI) is a shortwave radio station in the United States, broadcasting conservative religious programming worldwide in the English language on a number of frequencies. Part of the LeSEA Christian broadcasting group, WHRI is based in Cypress Creek, South Carolina, with its signal rebroadcast on its sister stations, WHRA in Greenbush, Maine and T8WH in Palau.

History

WHRI signed on in 1985 with their first service, Angel 1, covering Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. Its 2nd service from WHRI, Angel 2 went on the air in 1987, covering Europe, Central and South America.

In 1993, WHRI opened a second station, KWHR (transmitted from Ka Lae, the southernmost point in Hawaii), which provided Angel 3 covering China and Eastern Asia, expanding in 1997 with Angel 4, covering the South Pacific. The license for KWHR expired in 2009.[1] Angel 3 and Angel 4 now transmit from T8WH in Palau.

In 1998, its third station, WHRA, signed on with Angel 5, a signal for Africa and the Middle East. As of November 17, 2009, "WHRA in Greenbush, Maine has signed off the air for good. All equipment has been dismantled. Former frequencies for WHRA have been reassigned for WHRI usage."[2]

WHRI also operates Angel 6 with a signal primarily for Mexico.
