WHRV is the flagship National Public Radio member station for the Hampton Roads region of Virginia. Licensed to Norfolk, Virginia; it broadcasts on the FM dial at 89.5 mHz. It is owned by the Hampton Roads Educational Telecommunications Association along with WHRO-TV and WHRO-FM. Its programming consists of jazz, adult album alternative music and NPR news and talk.

The station began in the late 1960s as WTGM. Hampton Roads Educational Telecommunications Association bought the then-financially troubled station in 1974 and changed the calls to WHRO-FM in 1978. In 1990, the WHRO-FM callsign was moved to 90.3 FM with a new classical music format. NPR news, jazz and alternative music stayed on 89.5 FM under the newly created WHRV callsign.
