CD101.1 FM (101.1 FM) is an American radio station whose transmitter and license is in Grove City, Ohio. They serve the Columbus metro market from their broadcast facilities located at 503 S. Front St. Suite 101 in the Brewery District. CD101.1 plays modern rock, and was one of the first stations in the United States to simulcast on the internet. The station's call letters are WWCD, and--unlike many American FM radio stations--are not suffixed with "-FM".
WWCD began broadcasting on August 20, 1990. The first song played on the station was "Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, (Petrol)" by the Dublin, Ireland band Something Happens. The station is owned by Fun With Radio, LLC whose founder, Roger Vaughan, purchased the station from Video Services in 1992. CD101.1 has always been owned by interests in metro Columbus, and is one of the few remaining independent radio stations in the U.S. playing alternative rock.
WWCD's Program Director is Andy "Andyman" Davis. He has been with the station almost since its inception. Davis was previously the station's Music Director. Jack DeVoss who had been with the station since 1993 (Music Director after 1998) recently left the station to explore a career in a different field. He has not been replaced officially, and there is currently a music consortium to fill the vacant role. This "music team" is made up of CD101 DJs Tom Butler, Rudy Gerdeman, Rachael Gordon and Mike Folker.
The Morning Show, which runs from 6-9 A.M, is hosted by Brian Phillips and Joe Weasel and the newest addition, Rachael Gordon.
Other current CD101 DJs include Joe Jewett (Production Director), Rudy G (founder of the Independent Playground), Copper Johansson, Patrick, Jennifer Blix and Cassy.
Former CD101.1 DJs include Fritz the Nite Owl, who also once hosted one of the last late night movie television programs locally produced in the United States. Fritz's show was broadcast on WCLL-CA, television channel 19, in Columbus.
CD101.1 is the FM flagship station of the Columbus Blue Jackets NHL hockey team.
