WKCR Mailing List (Sign-Up)
Dear active WKCR listeners, supporters, alumni, and students. We invite you to sign up for our new mailing list: an initiative that we hope can boost transparency at the station as we continue our efforts to provide you with engaging programming. Digital communication has become increasingly vital as the pandemic has reshaped our modes of distribution and consumption. In the past, WKCR sent on-air guides as physical mailers to all of our community members on our mailing list.
