99.1 WAUP

Waupaca Area Community Radio, Inc. (WACR) was incorporated January 26, 1993 as a non-profit publicly supported organization in the State of Wisconsin. We are committed to providing the people of central Wisconsin access to public broadcasting. WACR seeks to connect community members to one another and the world by exploring cultural diversity through arts and public affairs programming and cultural events. Traditionally, The Waupaca area, with a doubling of population every summer, has been a vacation destination to those seeking refuge in camps and cabins for over one hundred years. Relevant and thoughtful program content will reflect, enhance and preserve this unique geographical identity thru open discussion and musical programming, providing a real alternative to traditional radio available in this area.

WACR’s objective is to increase the level of community involvement and broaden it’s understanding in contemporary local issues using creative program formats and innovative use of social networks. Formats that facilitate sharing of personal stories, personal experience, information, analysis and views, while stretching the perceptions, imagination, and intellect with a wide range of music programming.

We are looking forward to showcasing interesting and talented local radio programmers.                                Music
