WCCE (90.1 FM; "His Radio") is a radio station broadcasting a contemporary Christian format. Licensed to Buies Creek, North Carolina, United States, the station serves the Fayetteville area. The station is owned by Radio Training Network and is a full-time satellite of WRTP in Franklinton.
Geographic coverage
[edit]WCCE's 15,000 watt signal covers all of Harnett and Cumberland counties as well as parts of Wake, Lee, Johnston and Sampson counties.
Former programming
[edit]The station had previously been the student radio station of Campbell University in Buies Creek. It formerly aired a format featuring easy listening music during parts of the broadcast day along with religious programming; during this period, WCCE was branded as "Light and Easy 90.1". This format was featured during the 1990s and early 2000s before being dropped in 2006 in favor of a Christian music format mixed with other religious programming. It also aired various athletic events of the Campbell Fighting Camels. Weekend programming included some bluegrass and big band music shows.
Sale
[edit]Following the 2006–2007 school year, Campbell sold WCCE to Radio Training Network, which turned it into a full-power satellite of WRTP.[2] The call letters remain unchanged, even though the new station operates from studios located in North Raleigh. RTN took over the station's operations under a local marketing agreement until the sale closed in 2007.
Soon after taking over the station, RTN won FCC approval to increase WCCE's power to 15,000 watts from a new tower in northeastern Cumberland County.[3][4]
