Freedom of Expression

"Three reasons why freedom of expression is essential to a free society."

 
"It's the foundation of self-fulfillment.  The right to express one's thoughts and to communicate freely with others affirms the dignity and worth of each and every member of society, and allows each individual to realize his or her full human potential.  Thus, freedom of expression is an end in itself - and as such, derves society's greatest protection.

Volunteer with WCOM

WCOM needs more engineering volunteers to keep the community radio magic flowing.  Email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and include the word 'engineering' in the subject line if this interests you. 

WCOM also needs volunteers who enjoy accounting, record keeping and office type tasks.  Without volunteers behind the scenes to keep body and soul together there would be no WCOM.   At the most the time commitment would be two or three hours a week, a monthly committee meeting of about one to one and a half hours and much of the work can be done on line.

Scroll down the left side of the page to where it says 'Volunteer' to click onto the online form for volunteering.  We hope to hear from you soon!.

A Hearty Thank You To Our Listeners!

 You have helped us reach our $2500 fundraising goal to cover immediate end-of-the-year expenses. 

Thanks to the support, energy and talent of a community that understands and believes in the value of making the airwaves available to local voices WCOM is starting the New Year in the black!. With your continued involvement WCOM will be able to go on providing a growing list of programs that express the rich cultural diversity and unique character of the Carrboro-Chapel Hill area.

We are fresh, fun, live and local!  Explore our program schedule.  You’re sure to find something you like that you won’t find anywhere else. 

Today we have over 60 live and locally produced programs with more on the way. We are streamed live on the internet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week as well as broadcast on the air as far as the 100 watts allowed to us by the FCC will carry.

Remember – none of this happens without the support of the community.  

We have just a few packages of Larry's Beans left.   Larry's Beans  has donated a limited number of pound packages of their beans to people who become a member of WCOM's Less Than a Latte Club.  Hurry up and join now before they're all gone!  This is in addition to your choice of one of our limited addition WCOM bumperstickers.  

It's never too late to contribute!  We welcome, appreciate and depend on every contribution regardless of the amount.  If you prefer you can mail a check to WCOM, 201 N. Greensboro St., Carrboro, NC 27510

In the Beginning...

Our first on-air broadcasts five years ago were two "info-mercials", one in English, one in Spanish, telling our new listeners what we were about. We didn't have a studio yet, so these broadcasts came from a CD player at our transmitter site (at Scroggs Elementary), playing on a loop to fulfill the FCC requirements for being "on the air". They were pretty entertaining, still are! Listen to the English version, relive those days of yesteryear:
