WNCW is a noncommercial public radio station licensed to Isothermal Community College in Spindale, North Carolina, with a Triple A/Americana format.
The station's main signal, at 88.7 FM, covers Asheville from a tower on Clingman's Peak near Mount Mitchell.[1] Its main tower on Clingman's Peak has an effective radiated power (ERP) of about 17,000 watts [2] but covers a larger listening area because of the tower's elevation. It operates three translators--92.9 FM in Boone, North Carolina, 100.3 FM in Charlotte, North Carolina, and 97.3 FM in Greenville, South Carolina. Until 2003, it operated a translator at 96.7 FM in Knoxville, Tennessee.[3] However, the station has a construction permit for a new Knoxville translator at 99.7 FM. It also has a construction permit for a translator in east Charlotte to improve coverage in that city. The station hopes to have both translators on the air by 2010.
Combined with its translators, WNCW provides at least secondary coverage of portions of North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and Virginia
WNCW signed on October 13, 1989. After 10 years on the air, the station played almost every style of music except classical and mainstream country, with artists that included The Grateful Dead, Ben Harper, Richard Thompson, Widespread Panic, Bruce Cockburn, Santana and Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown. [4] At one time, WNCW aired National Public Radio shows, but the station decided to expand its music and cultural programming. [5]
