Our mission

WCOM is dedicated to the education, entertainment, and inspiration of the diverse communities of Carrboro, Chapel Hill, Orange County, and beyond.

Objective

WCOM aims to provide listeners with unique Music, News, and Talk radio programming that is often absent from commercial media.

WCOM helps cultivate the local art and music scenes, educates the public in media production, and facilitates the exchange of cultural and intellectual ideas – with particular regard for underrepresented voices.

As a non-profit radio station run entirely by volunteers, we proudly represent the diverse voices within our community.

Here for you

WCOM is a different kind of radio. Our volunteers love the medium of radio and care about the people who live here.

WCOM is a place where people gather to listen to good music, discover local news, learn about the world, laugh, meet good neighbors, and share ideas. The voices you hear on the air belong to real people making radio that is live, immediate, and interactive.
