GPB Radio broadcasts 24 hours per day on several FM stations across the state, except in Atlanta. The network had translator station W264AE in Atlanta on 100.7 FM with a tower located downtown. However, it (and WGHR) was forced to go silent when a full-power station WWWQ (now WNNX) FM 100.5 was moved in on an adjacent channel from Anniston, Alabama (where it was WHMA-FM). Despite having almost no presence in Atlanta, the network reaches nearly all the rest of Georgia, plus parts of Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Some stations have some locally-produced programming.
Previously, GPB Radio could be heard on the second audio program (SAP) of GPB analog TV at most times, and can still be heard this way on DirecTV, but for unknown reasons not on over-the-air digital TV.
GPB Radio stations in southern and southeastern Georgia also relay hurricane evacuation information for listeners approaching or leaving Georgia's Atlantic coast or the Florida panhandle. Signs along Interstate and other major highways in the region direct the evacuee to the nearest GPB Radio station carrying the emergency information.

Famous quotes containing the word radio:
“... the ... radio station played a Chopin polonaise. On all the following days news bulletins were prefaced by Chopin—preludes, etudes, waltzes, mazurkas. The war became for me a victory, known in advance, Chopin over Hitler.”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
