History and programming
WRTC debuted on February 26, 1947.

Its Southern soul show Greasy Tracks celebrated its 20-year-anniversary in 2015.
The station also airs shows about local politics and affairs such as The Community Talk Show, a bi-weekly panel discussion exploring topics ranging from social welfare, healthcare, politics to economic development, law enforcement, and unemployment.[3] In 1996, WRTC-FM carried the second presidential debate between incumbent Bill Clinton and challenger Bob Dole, moderated by PBS News Hour host Jim Lehrer in San Diego.[3] The station's veteran sportscasters provide home and away game coverage of the Bantams in NESCAC football action in the fall.
