Wolverhampton Community Radio Training

101.8 WCR FM is the Community Radio service for the City of Wolverhampton. It is operated by Wolverhampton Community Radio Training (WCRT), and licensed by OFCOM, the UK Radio regulator. Since 1986, WCR’s chief goal has been to bring quality and diversity to the radio medium: from providing training in basic radio skills to giving local people access to radio. Every year dozens of local organisations of all types use WCR to spread information. Over the years WCR has established extensive links with the community, representing a wide variety of social groups, all of which are frequently represented and highlighted on air. Differing from the majority of news-based programming on radio, 101.8 WCR FM always places a positive emphasis on events and activities: highlighting good news stories, and informing the listener of how a project, scheme or activity will benefit the community.
