KWCR is a student-run College radio station in Ogden, Utah. Owned and operated by Weber State University, the station formerly broadcast on a frequency of 88.1 MHz FM, but in October 2015, decided to continue solely online. All DJs and staff members are students at Weber State University, studying various courses throughout the university.
Because KWCR is a non-profit/student-run, online streaming radio station, the format of KWCR has changed numerous times in the history of the station, but currently classifies itself as "Indie Rock." In the past the format has been Hip hop, Popular Top-40, College rock and Alternative. In addition to their standard programming, KWCR offers a variety of specialty shows, including Punk, Ska, Hardcore, Rpm, Post-Rock Instrumental, Country, and political commentary. "The Nerd Show" is one of the most popular radio shows in Weber State University and also on Sundays the station offers an alternative show in Latin Languages (Spanish, Catalan, Italian, Ladino, French, Portuguese, Romanian) called "Domingos Latinos" ["Latin Sundays"].
KWCR reports charts to the College Media Journal. KWCR was featured on the cover of College Media Journal Magazine issue no. 978 with the quote: "KWCR makes Utah a little less lame".
Starting October 30, 2015, the station notified its listeners via Facebook that it was going online only. The station handed out CDs to its listeners after going digital only.
On June 13, 2017 the Federal Communications Commission adopted a consent decree with Weber State University. It resolves issues related to violations of rules governing public inspection files, Emergency Alert System and station log issues raised during a review of the station's Application for Renewal of License. It agreed to pay a civil penalty of $9,300. The application was granted on July 12, 2017 upon tender of the civil penalty payment.
