WRCR (1700 AM) is a radio station broadcasting an Adult Contemporary format with a morning News-Talk show. WRCR is licensed to Ramapo, New York and serves Rockland County. The station is owned by Alexander Broadcasting, Inc. and features hourly newscasts from the USA Radio Network.[1][2] The studios and offices were on the upper level of the Nanuet Mall. After the Mall closed the station moved to Provident Bank Park. WRCR broadcasts an adult contemporary music format on weekdays, with a News/Talk morning show. Brokered programming, sold to local businesses and community organizations, is heard middays and weekends.
WRCR is the only radio station providing news and information specifically for Rockland County. WRKL 910AM in nearby Pomona, New York, switched to an all-Polish format on March 18, 1999.[citation needed]
On July 13, 2015, WRCR moved from 1300 to 1700 kHz in the AM expanded band, increasing its power from 500 watts to 10,000 watts by day and 1000 watts at night. The higher wattage allows the station to be heard over a wider area of the lower Hudson Valley and Northern New Jersey. The station also switched its City of license to Ramapo from Spring Valley, New York, both communities in Rockland County.
WRCR airs games from the Rockland Boulders, a professional Minor League Baseball team based in Pomona, New York and member of the Canadian American Association of Professional Baseball, also known as the Can-Am League.
