WKCR-FM

Broadcasting at 89.9 MHz on the FM dial, this station operates as the non-commercial student-run radio outlet of Columbia University in New York City. The signal covers the metropolitan area from its transmitter located at 4 Times Square. Programming consists of specialized blocks including extensive jazz archives, classical music, and news coverage of university affairs. The station adheres to an alternative format, often dedicating entire broadcast days to the work of a single artist or composer. Long-running programs such as 'Jazz Alternatives' and 'The Bird Flight' provide continuous in-depth commentary on specific musical traditions. Staffed by student volunteers and community members, the organization manages its own library of over 100,000 vinyl records and recordings. Access to historical programming archives is available through the Columbia University student affairs website.
