WKCR-FM broadcasts on 89.9 FM from New York with 1.35 kW. The analog service is also carried digitally on 89.9 HD1. The separate 89.9 HD2 channel carries classical programming from WWFM rather than the WKCR schedule.
The station is licensed to the Trustees of Columbia University and has operated under an FCC license since 1941. No additional analog WKCR frequency or commonly owned sister radio station was confirmed.
