Sierra Club Radio on the Air in Columbus

By

After being on the air for a little over a year, WCRS low power FM has recently expanded its broadcast hours from 6 to 13 hours a day! WCRS is Columbus’ only community radio station, and is now broadcasting from 6am-9am and from 3pm-1am on 102.1 and 98.3 FM in most of Franklin County.

WCRS is a service of Simply Living and a Pacifica affiliate, airing Democracy Now!, Free Speech Radio News and other syndicated public affairs programs in addition to locally made music, talk, and public affairs programs in English, French, Somali, and Spanish.

With the expanded hours, WCRS is now broadcasting Sierra Club Radio on Thursdays from 6:30-7 pm. Sierra Club Radio is a weekly half hour program produced by Sierra Club staff and hosted by Orli Cotel. They broadcast in-depth interviews with politicians, authors, celebrities, artists, and activists inspired by nature. They also feature lifestyle tips from Sierra magazine's "Green Life" editor, Josie Garthwaite, and from advice columnist "Mr. Green," as well as occasional commentary from Club Executive Director Carl Pope.

WCRS-LP FM is a non-commercial, listener-supported community radio station serving Central Ohio, providing quality programming to: promote personal and civic responsibility; promote informed action and thoughtful living; challenge cultural and intellectual assumptions; celebrate local cultures; air alternative points of view; and provide representation for under-served constituencies.
