history
The station started in 1989 as a country music station and interpreted its callsign as "World Wide Country Radio ", but then switched to Evangelical content and called itself from then on "World Wide Christian Radio" . Since the station is now known for its absurd, conspiracy-theoretical programs, listeners also call it "World Wide Conspiracy Radio".
In the early 1990s, Holocaust denier Ernst Zündel rented airtime on WWCR. For his neo-Nazi embassies, he rented around $ 15,000 per half hour of airtime in Nashville. Zündel's German-language program could be received without any problems in Germany and was partly financed through advertising.
Because of its politically controversial programs, WWCR was also the target of arson in the 1990s.
