WRNC-LP was a student-owned, freeform radio station on 97.7 MHz, and served the Chequamegon Bay area from the campus of Northland College in Ashland, Wisconsin.
Soon after the station began broadcasting, student organizers discovered that licensing paperwork had never been filed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which led to an end of broadcasting for the new station.
In 2001, an LPFM tower construction permit was drafted and filed with the FCC.
In 2003, Northland College was granted a 100-watt, low-power frequency to begin broadcasting in December of that year.
The station featured a variety of programming and operated twenty-four hours a day.
