Our current downtown broadcast studio:
Broadcasting began September, 2004, under an FCC "low power" 100 watt license. Today our program schedule includes 74 locally produced music and talk shows created by over 100 volunteers each week. We also carry some of the most incisive news shows on the air, like Democracy Now, Free Speech Radio News and Counter Spin.

Our Transmitter at Scroggs Elementary
We use a 900-mhz microwave signal to send our broadcast from the station to our transmitter and broadcast antenna, atop a light pole by the school's football field. This is called a "STL" or studio transmitter link.

WCOM Studio and Classroom at Carrboro High:
A "Green" Building
Local architect Giles Blunden has proposed a "green building"
based on recycled shipping containers that would complement
the high school's design.
