WRCN-FM (103.9 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a Conservative News/Talk format, licensed to Riverhead, New York and serving eastern Long Island. The station is owned by JVC Media LLC with studios located in Ronkonkoma, New York and transmitter located in Manorville, New York.

History

The station first went on the air in 1962 as WAPC-FM.[2] In 1967 the call letters were changed to WHRF-FM,[3] and in 1972 to the current WRCN-FM.[4] Some of the names that have spent time at the station over the years include, Bob Buchmann,[5] Tom Calderone, Dee Snider, Zach Martin, Marc Coppola, Chris King, Matt Mangus, Kaptain Kevin, David Race, Bob Goodman, John Loscalzo, Zena Black, Joe "JT" Thomas, Rocky, Tim Sheehan, Rich Fisher, Drew Kenyon, Tony Paige and Chaz & AJ.[6]

In 1978, WRCN changed format from Top 40 to what was then known as Album Rock (now known as Classic Rock). The air staff at the time included Don Brink, Jeff Fisher, Chuck Mackin (currently at WLNG), Tim Tango, Tim Rector, Malcolm Gray and Susan Roberts.

On August 27, 2012, WRCN-FM shifted their format to mainstream rock, under the "Rock of Long Island" slogan.[7]

On November 15, 2013 at 5pm, WRCN-FM's rock format came to an abrupt end as the station temporarily changed formats to Christmas music. The station, going by the temporary name of "Christmas 103.9" then flipped to Conservative News/Talk as "LI NewsRadio 103.9" on December 26, 2013.[8]
