Programming
With 100 watts of effective radiated power, WCIW-LP broadcasts a community radio format to an area approximately 15 miles (24 km) in and around Immokalee, bringing music and news to the immigrant farm workers from their homelands, in their own languages. The languages include Spanish, Haitian Creole, and some of the indigenous Indian languages of Central America.[2]
History
In June 2001, Interfaith Action of Southwest Florida, Inc., applied to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for a construction permit for a new broadcast radio station. The FCC granted this permit on June 11, 2003, with a scheduled expiration date of December 11, 2004.[3] The new station was assigned call sign "WCTI-LP" on December 2, 2003.[1] The station was assigned new call sign "WCIW-LP" by the FCC on January 12, 2004.[1] After construction and testing were completed, the station was granted its broadcast license on June 7, 2004.[4]
WCIW-LP was the fifth community radio barnraising of the Prometheus Radio Project.
