Established by a group of Cary Quadrangle residents in 1952, Cary Club Radio (WCCR) was the first totally student-run radio station at Purdue, as one of the original student radio stations in the Big Ten. For years, WCCR was broadcast from the top of the Cary Quad residence tower, from which we broadcasted over the airwaves at 90.1 CaFM, a relatively low-frequency local signal. Recently WCCR switched to an Internet radio format, increasing our reach, and allowing our listeners to stream a higher-quality feed of our programming.
Renovations to Cary Quad finished in 2006 moved our productions to an amazing new studio in the basement of Cary Northwest, where the station presently resides.
While technically a "sub-club" of Cary Club, the activities organization of Cary Quadrangle, WCCR is an exercize in student management and creativity, boasting not only the talents of the gentlemen who call Cary their home, but Purdue students from around campus who are able to take advantage of our state-of-the-art facilities and make their voice heard.
Officially, our designation is alternative music, though our programming varies from jazz to hard rock to talk and conversation. As each show is an independent production, individual hosts are given the freedom to populate their playlists, giving each program a unique feel and the opportunity to build their own listenership.
Thanks for stopping by--and keep listening to WCCR!
WCCR is a sub-club of Cary Club.
Advertising on WCCR can be a great way to reach hundreds on a weekly basis. Options are available for traditional 10 or 30-second radio spots, or for sponsorship of a program on the station. We invite you to contact us for a quote.
