When the issue of the McDaniel radio station, WMCR, is brought up, many people scratch their heads. However, I am here as the president of the organization to set the record straight on the most underrated group on the Hill.
This first thing is that WMCR is still broadcasting, and has over 40 members on campus. In years past, the AM radio broadcasting had faltered, and WMCR was only able to broadcast on iTunes. After a summer revamp, the transmitter is fully operational on campus. We now broadcast on both the 1620am radio signal and iTunes, as the dungeon like dorms hinder the quality of the signal. However, WMCR will be broadcasted in Decker Center soon, so as you force down GLAR’s menu, you will be listening to us. Moreover, the signal reaches a six-mile area off campus, allowing us to broadcast to the local area.
Our programs include anything from political to sports talk, as well as music programs devoted to genres ranging anywhere from hip-hop to punk rock. WMCR also is holding several events this semester and also in the spring. Along with broadcasting, the station also has a full-time DJ and equipment, with services at cheap prices for other campus groups. We also will be holding raffles for various electronic devices.
Let WMCR be clear?we are not nor ever have been dead. Listen to WMCR at GLAR, your car radios, or in your apartments. You will not be disappointed.
