WHRK is a very successful Mainstream Urban station owned by Clear Channel Communications. It is licensed to Memphis, and it broadcasts at 97.1 MHz frequency.
The station was originally WMPS-FM and had offered an Adult Contemporary format during the 1960s and 1970s. That was until 1977 when it flipped to a Rhythmic Contemporary Hit Radio hybrid format that featured Disco. Even after Disco's demise they still continued to add Dance and Pop/Rock product throughout the 1980s but would evolve to Urban contemporary format by the end of that decade. It was purchased by Chancellor in the late 1990's along with sister station WDIA and former competitor KJMS. Today the station continues to dominate the Memphis Urban radio wars against KXHT.
