About WCRS

WHO ARE WE?

WCRS is one of two stations sharing 102.1 FM. Each is owned by a local non-profit organization:
WCRS - a project of Simply Living, currently broadcasting 3 pm to 8 pm daily.
WCRX - a project of Bexley Public Radio Foundation, broadcasting 11 am to 1 pm M-F

WHY TWO FREQUENCIES?

The FCC licenses us as "low power" stations, meaning we broadcast at a low wattage. People in northeastern Franklin County are the most likely to hear us on 102.1 FM. If you live elsewhere, tune into 98.3 FM, a "translator" station owned by the Columbus Institute for Contemporary Journalism. 98.3 broadcasts with more wattage and is more centrally located. (By FCC rules a translator station cannot originate programming. It can only rebroadcast another station.) See Reception Tips for more information about receiving our station.

WHAT IS OUR PROGRAM FORMAT?

CURRENT: We are broadcasting programming available through the Pacifica Network.
