WRCT: a radio station

Now that the spring semester is under way at Carnegie Mellon University, WRCT is pleased to announce our Spring 2021 schedule.

Since the pandemic crisis began in March 2020, CMU students and WRCT community volunteers have been keeping the intelligent, energetic, and diverse programming you’ve come to associate with WRCT on the air with remote recorded programs. This spring, many of our student-run shows will come to you live from the WRCT studios.

So check out our Spring 2021 schedule (effective Monday, February 15). Whether they’re live in the WRCT studios or broadcasting from their home studios, WRCT community volunteers and CMU students will continue to broadcast Pittsburgh’s best variety of music and public affairs programming 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, on 88.3 FM, Pittsburgh, or streaming from this very website!

WRCT had been experiencing technical issues that made both our signal at 88.3 FM and our regular internet streams unreliable. In essence, 88.3 FM and our internet streams were off and on the air for several days.

While our CMU student and community volunteers continue the work to fully resolve the issues, we have restored much of our programming to our broadcast signal at 88.3 FM and our internet streams. You can now hear many of your favorite WRCT shows, including encore presentations, and music from our library between those shows.

We will update this notice as soon as our full range of programming is available again.

All of us at WRCT appreciate your support and your patience when we encounter issues like these. Thank you!
