News
WKCR News provides a unique take on local, national, global issues by challenging student reporters to develop and create a news media that is honest, relevant, and engaging. The News Department, whose roots lay in its award-winning coverage of the Columbia University student strike of 1968, prides itself on consistently working to expand its already broad coverage, enrich its already creative takes on the news, and provide its dedicated listernship from New York and around the world with the important information about the issues of our times.

Be sure to check back in as the project continues to grow!
Late City Edition airs every Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00-9:30pm.
Youth Mic
- Monday 9-9:30pm
Youth Mic is a teen radio program that runs out of WKCR studios in which high-school and middle-school-aged producers create a weekly talk show on issues important to teens. Every Monday from 9:00-9:30 p.m. the Youth Mic crew presents news, debate, poetry and commentaries on topics that concern teens from their unique perspectives. Participants are a diverse group of students from each borough who come together to share their voices with each other and the wider New York population.
Sounds cool? If you or a youth you know is interested in joining YM or finding out more about the program, please email Daro at news@wkcr.org with "Youth Mic Interest" in the subject line.
Welcome to the new home of WKCR. Thank you for being patient as we continue to develop parts of the site.
