For the spring and summer, I am an intern
at WCRN 830 AM a radio station
located in downtown Worcester on 82 Franklin Street. The Telephone No# (508)792-5803, Fax No# is

throughout my internship are Chris Thompson who is the General Sales Manager
for the station and Hank Stolz who does the morning news weekdays 5-9 am.
Carter broadcasting owns the station. Previously when the station started in 1994
the station carried religious programming.
Then later on in 200, this was abandoned, and replaced by Big Band music. When the station upgraded their power from 5,000
watts to 50,000 watts, the structure of the station changed to the True Oldies channel
in Aug 2004. Then in May 2006, the
station went to the current talk format.
WCRN’S mission is to make a
profit by selling airtime. The people
who host shows are on WCRN educate
the public on topics like, money matters, financial decisions, and community
events. The station is a conservative
talk radio station that covers many different topics and tries to get there listeners
thinking.
