• Help WCRS Move Our Tower & Keep 98.3 On Air!

    WCRS-LP FM -- Columbus's community-powered radio station! -- needs to move our 98.3 transmitter tower in order to keep our 98.3 signal on the air ... so we can keep providing people-powered radio to communities in downtown, West, South, & parts of East Columbus! For the last decade+, we've been bringing you all of the weird, eclectic goodness of people-powered local radio programming: from talk to music to reportage to everything in between. Please help keep us on the air, & preserve our coverage across most of the greater Columbus area!

About Us

WCRS Needs You!

As Columbus Community Station, We are people driven which in our case means we need people to drive this station. Right now we are looking for Volunteers which you can fill out our volunteers form. It's under Volunteer and choose Volunteer Form. Also on the programming side we are looking for public affair shows to air on WCRS. This is your station so let's hear your voice. The Broadcaster form is also under Volunteer and make sure you fill it all out and you might be on WCRS!
