Funtime Oldies 1170 AM

A community AM radio station broadcasting on 1170 kHz, operating under the call letters WCLN. The station has been playing oldies and beach music since May 1999, establishing itself as a long-running fixture in the Eastern North Carolina media landscape. Programming centers on popular music from the 1950s through the 1980s, with a particular emphasis on the smooth sounds associated with Carolina beach music, a regional style closely tied to the shag dance tradition of the Carolinas. Beyond its music programming, the station is committed to local community service, providing local news and weather forecasts targeted at residents of Eastern North Carolina. A notable feature is the "We Should Know" show hosted by J.W. Simmons. The station simulcasts on Star TV Channel 16 SD and 316 HD, reaching cable viewers in Sampson and Bladen Counties in addition to its AM broadcast audience. WCLN maintains a physical presence at 118 East Main Street in its home community, reinforcing its identity as a locally rooted broadcaster focused on serving area residents rather than a regional or national audience.
