Radio WCR FM

WCR FM serves Wolverhampton with local news, music, interviews and programmes reflecting the city's different communities. It is operated by Wolverhampton Community Radio Training, a community interest company whose roots go back to the Wolverhampton Community Radio Association in 1986. Training remains an important part of its work, developing confidence and teamwork as well as practical broadcasting skills, with opportunities for newcomers, volunteers and experienced presenters.

Ryan and Liz Kennedy present breakfast, Andy Swift is a daytime voice and Jason Forrest hosts Wolverhampton Today. Lyndon Edwards combines music with travel and information at drivetime. The emphasis on the city continues through local guests and discussions, while Inside Tracks connects people's experiences with their choice of music. Caroline Martin's Sanctuary offers a late-night phone-in, adding direct listener conversation to the range of speech output.

Specialist music is a substantial part of WCR's identity. Garry Foster presents Unchained Music Club and Prog Rock Files, Genevieve Tudor explores folk and Jim Duncan presents Wolverhampton Country. Mike Hardacre's jazz programme adds another strand. These shows allow presenters to draw on particular interests beyond the general daytime selection, with both familiar records and music chosen for a more specialised audience.

Other programmes connect entertainment to life around the city: David King presents Taste Wolverhampton, Chris Allen contributes business coverage and Susan Vickers hosts Women in the City. Soul, funk, Bollywood and dance music also appear in the published line-up. WCR brings this variety together with space for local organisations to discuss their activities, maintaining a link between its training origins and its role as a city radio service.
