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

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:
