98.3 back on the air

Hello WCRS listeners, just a quick update.

Our chief engineer Eugene Beer was able to install a replacement receive transmitter so we could get 98.3 back on the air. So enjoy tuning in to both of our frequencies again.

98.3 temporarily off the air

Due to an interference problem with receiving 92.7 at the translator site 98.3 is currently not broadcasting WCRS-LP. Our volunteer engineer has been hard at work getting WGRN back on the air and will be working on this task as soon as he can. We are still broadcasting 24-7 on 92.7 and streaming on-line and hope to get 98.3 back up as soon as possible. If you miss WCRS-LP feel free to donate to our station so we can afford better equipment to keep the station going.

Stay tuned for more info - the all volunteer station management
