WCTR-AM, known as "The Town", originally went on the air on AM 1530 in 1962 and has been faithfully serving its local communities ever since. The station was originally a 250 watt daytimer, but it subsequently received permission from the FCC to increase its power to 1,000 watts. And recently, WCTR added an FM frequency covering the Chestertown area onFM 102.3.
