WCDC (950 kHz) is an AM radio station broadcasting a Christian talk and teaching radio format. It is licensed to Moncks Corner, South Carolina, and serves the Charleston metropolitan area. The station owned by The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago and it airs programming from the Moody Radio Network.

By day, WCDC is powered at 10,000 watts. But to avoid interference to other stations on 950 AM, at night it reduces power to 6,000 watts. It uses a directional antenna with a six-tower array.^[1] Programming is also heard on 250-watt FM translator W299CY at 107.7 MHz.^[2]

Programming

Weekdays on WCDC begin with a Nashville-based music and information program, Dawn and Steve in the Morning. That is followed by national religious programs, including shows hosted by Alistair Begg, Tony Evans, Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth, John MacArthur, Janet Parshall and Joni Eareckson Tada.

WCDC formerly aired the Clemson University Tigers and NASCAR races when it was a country music station and later when it switched to sports talk.

History

The station signed on the air in December 1963 (1963-12).^[3] The original call sign was WBER. It was a 500-watt daytimer station, required to go off the air at night. In 1967, it was acquired by the Berkeley Broadcasting Company and it aired a country music format.

On September 13, 2010, as WJKB, the format changed from Dial Global's classic country music service to sports radio. In March 2013, the station flipped to conservative talk. In December 2016, the station switched to an urban gospel format, simulcasting WJNI. On July 30, 2019, the station changed to Christian talk and teaching from the Moody Radio Network, after being acquired by The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.
