History
The station first went on the air in 1962 as WAPC-FM.[1] In 1967 the call letters were changed to WHRF-FM,[2] and in 1972 to the current WRCN-FM.[3] In 1978, WRCN changed from a top 40 format to what was then known as album-oriented rock (now known as classic rock). Some of the air–staff that have worked at the station over the years include, Zena Black,[4] Bob Buchmann,[5] Marc Coppola, John Loscalzo,[6] Tim Sheehan,[7] Dee Snider, and Chaz & AJ.[8]
On August 27, 2012, WRCN-FM shifted their format to mainstream rock, under the "Rock of Long Island" slogan.[9]
On November 15, 2013, at 5 pm, WRCN-FM's rock format came to an abrupt end as the station temporarily changed formats to Christmas music as "Christmas 103.9". The station then flipped to conservative news/talk as "LI News Radio 103.9" on December 26, 2013.[10]
