This article covers two stations - WRCR-AM and WRCR-FM - that are unrelated. I think this should be split into separate entries to prevent confusion. - HowardLive, Sept. 1, 2006

On the reported 2007 frequency change to 1700 AM: the American Bandscan blog (as of August 31, 2006) reports WRCR has only applied to the FCC for the change; other stations are in play, too. Can anyone cite a source stating whether or not WRCR has been granted the 1700 frequency yet?

The blog is accessible at http://americanbandscan.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_americanbandscan_archive.html.

The main article refers to WRKL (910 AM / New City, NY) as a 'predecessor' of WRCR. Not true. WRCR, which has operated under several callsigns since going on the air in 1965 (as WRRC, then WKQW(1968), WGRC(1977), WLIR(1987), and lastly, WRCR(2000)) and WRKL were competitors. That competition ended for all practical purposes in 1999, when WRKL was sold and changed to a Polish format.

The FCC has not yet acted on WRCR's application for 1700 kHz, FCC file number BSF-20071005AEF, over 5 years after it was filed in October 2007. Three other mutually exclusive applications were filed for 1700 at the same time. The applicants are: S&B Broadcasting Company, FCC file number BSF-20071005AED; Talkline Commuications Corp, FCC file number BSF-20071005AEE; and Polnet Communications Ltd., owners of WRKL, FCC file number BSF-20071005AEG.

As a result of hurricane Sandy, on October 29, 2012, the top third of WRCR's center tower (of 3) collapsed. Pending the tower's replacement, the station is operating with reduced power. - MisterClark 26 NOV 2012
