Radio moved to 89.9 FM in 1956 with a 10-watt signal. Fittingly, wideband frequency modulation (FM) radio was invented by Columbia University professor
Edwin Armstrong in the early 1930s. Today the 1,350-watt, volunteer-run station airs a mix of Jazz, Alternative Rock, Classical and Hip-Hop. Former WKCR staff includes political advisor and ABC television host
George Stephanopolous, NPR host Robert Siegel, novelist
Erica Jong, jazz pianist
Dick Hyman and singer-songwriter
Laura Cantrell.
