WWCR mainly leases out its four transmitters to religious organizations and speakers, as well as serving as the shortwave home of Genesis Communications Network's programs.[1] However, it does air a few hours of original programming per week.

F.W. Robbert Broadcasting also owns the AM (mediumwave) stations WNQM in Nashville, WMQM and WLRM in Memphis, WITA in Knoxville, and WVOG in New Orleans. Some of WWCR's programming is also broadcast on these local stations.

History

Originally known as 'World Wide Country Radio,' WWCR began broadcasting a country format but quickly switched to a standard evangelical Christian format, also selling leased airtime. Because of the station's policy of leasing airtime, WWCR acquired an early reputation for carrying an eclectic mix of political and entertainment programming in addition to the religious programs. Among those, past as well as present, making their shortwave debut on WWCR, are:

  • "Essentials of Life & Wellness" hosted by Dr. Will Wong
  • The Hour of the Time, hosted by Bill Cooper
  • Radio Free America hosted by Tom Valentine, sponsored by Carotec Health newspaper
  • For the People hosted by Chuck Harder
  • Newswatch Magazine hosted by David J. Smith
  • Radio Newyork International hosted by Allan Weiner
  • World of Radio hosted by Glenn Hauser
  • Rich Salzer Show
  • Conservative Preterist Church
  • Scriptures for America hosted by Peter J. Peters
  • Dr Gene Scott, with "The University Network" from California
  • Mark Koernke, a self-proclaimed militia leader, aka "Mark From Michigan," host of "The Intelligence Report"
  • Unshackled, the show of the Pacific Garden Mission
  • Rick Tyler, the Voice of Liberty
  • John Anderson, the Voice of Reason, Preterist Christian show
  • Jack McLamb, founder of "Police Against the New World Order"
  • Freedom Call hosted by Lt. Col. James (Bo) Gritz
  • Rollye James, Libertarian
  • Pat Kiley, hosting "Follow the Money" with cohost Robert Chapman who became Melody Cedarstrom's cohost in the same timeslot after Kiley was indicted for complicity in a Ponzi scheme[2]
  • James McCanney, hosting his revisionist Science Hour At the Crossroads [3]
  • Dave Mooney, host of World Wide Country music show.
  • The Alex Jones Show
  • Joyce Riley and The Power Hour

WWCR is also notable for a December 1997 broadcast by Ted Gunderson which later became the subject of a court case. In that case, lawyers for Art Bell claimed that the broadcast had implied he had been charged with child molestation. A defamation lawsuit against the station was settled in October 2000 and Art Bell claimed that WWCR had apologized for the incident.[4] Ted Gunderson disputes that any apology was ever made and asserts that the case was entirely baseless.[5] The majority of the political commentary on the station is of a conservative or ultra-conservative nature with extensive discussion on conspiracy theories.[6][7]
