What Makes WCCS 96.5 FM Unique?

WCCS 96.5 FM isn’t just another radio station — it’s a community of music lovers, storytellers, and creative minds powered entirely by students. Every show you hear is crafted with passion, from the carefully selected tracks to the lively banter that makes you feel like you’re hanging out with friends. Our DJs aren’t just voices on the air; they’re your classmates, your neighbors, and your peers, sharing a piece of their world through sound.

Because we’re student-run, our programming reflects the true diversity of our campus. One hour you might be vibing to indie folk, the next you’re diving into hyperpop or discovering a hidden gem from the 70s. There’s no corporate playlist here — just authentic, human-curated radio that evolves with the people behind the mic.

Beyond the music, WCCS is a platform for conversation, connection, and creativity. From shows that explore pop culture and fashion to those that simply provide a soundtrack for your study sessions, we believe radio has the power to bring people together in an intimate, screen-free way.

A Show for Every Mood

One of the best things about WCCS is the sheer variety of shows. Our hosts bring their unique tastes and personalities to the airwaves, resulting in a lineup that’s as eclectic as the student body itself. From high-energy morning mixes to late-night chill sessions, there’s always something to match your mood.

Love discovering new indie artists? Craving throwback jams from decades past? Or maybe you prefer talk-based shows that dive into culture, art, and personal stories. Whatever your vibe, our schedule is packed with gems waiting to be unearthed. And because our DJs often take requests and interact with listeners, you might just hear the song you’ve had stuck in your head all week.

Don’t be surprised if you stumble upon a show that becomes your new weekly ritual — that’s the magic of radio where anything goes.

Behind the Mic: Our Student Hosts

The heartbeat of WCCS is our incredible team of student hosts. Each DJ brings their own story, playlist, and perspective to the studio, making every show a personal experience. Whether they’re seasoned radio pros or first-time broadcasters, what unites them is a genuine love for sharing music and connecting with listeners.

Our hosts have the freedom to shape their shows however they like, from the theme and format to the on-air persona they adopt. This creative liberty results in programming that’s refreshingly original and deeply engaging. You’re not just listening to a radio station — you’re getting a window into someone’s personality and passion.

Many of our DJs are also involved in other aspects of the station, from production to promotion, making WCCS a true learning laboratory. The skills they develop here — communication, technical production, and storytelling — stay with them long after graduation.
