Station Info

The best damn student group on campus, WCFM strives to be the greatest radio station in all of Prospect; maybe even in the entire Odd Quad! It has a transmitter known to be AT LEAST as powerful as a good hair dryer (sometimes)! WCFM is known primarily for melting your goddamn faces off.

WCFM was founded in 1879. It went underground when frats were abolished in 1970-something (We don't sweat the date), but resurfaced as a major force on campus when Adam Sober (not a joke) Ain took over in the year of our Savior, 2004. Maybe it was 2003.

They also have pretty sick tee shirts.

Getting Involved with WCFM

Interested in becoming a DJ? Email Jim Dunn at 10jrd@williams.edu. DJs gain the privilege of enjoying all of WCFMs exclusive hot-hot members only benefits: incredible music library, sweet sound equipment good for both rocking your own balls off and pissing off Jordan Hollander, and the ability to bring bands for the two best concerts Williams College ever experiences. That last sentence actually wasn't a joke, the music library has been known to spontaneously impregnate women at a range of 30 meters and legend has it that during one especially big-time hip-hop show, the bass was felt in WCMA.

If you are not a DJ and are interested in using our cash-money production studio, please contact our interim Production Manager, who also happens to be Jim.

If you are interested in attending one of WCFM's illustrious, mysterious meetings, they are every Wednesday night at 6:00pm in Goodrich Hall.
