WCRN (830 AM) is a radio station in Worcester, Massachusetts, owned by Carter Broadcasting.
The station broadcasts with a transmitter power output of 50,000 watts and can be heard from Maine to Providence, Rhode Island, and from Boston to Springfield, Massachusetts (during the day).
WCRN signed on December 5, 1994,[1][3] carrying religious programming from the Carter Radio Network, based out of then-sister station WROL in Boston.
The station is also an affiliate of the University of Massachusetts Amherst network for football and men's basketball broadcasts.
From 2007 through 2009, and since 2011, WCRN has shared the Worcester affiliation of the Boston Red Sox Radio Network with WEEI/WEEI-FM satellite station WVEI, an arrangement made in order to take advantage of WCRN's then-new 50,000-watt night signal to serve areas of MetroWest that had difficulty receiving either WVEI itself or the team's then-flagship, WRKO, particularly at night (when most Red Sox games are played), with WVEI selling local advertising on both stations.
