WVCR-FM (88.3 The Saint) is a variety hits radio station owned by, and primarily staffed by students from, Siena College, located in Loudonville, New York. The station broadcasts on 88.3fm at a 35,000 Watts from the Heldeberg Mountains in the Town of New Scotland. In addition to simulcast programming at www.wvcr.com
WVCR is perhaps the only non-commercial licensee to emulate the Variety hits format made popular by the Jack FM approach in the Capital Region. The format is very popular in the region with a very diverse selection from classic 1960s hits to current hits of today—something of a 35,000 Watt iPod for Baby Boomers.
Unlike many Variety Hits stations, WVCR's Variety Hits format contains DJs that interact with listeners, and identify songs played on the station.
In addition, the station frequently makes uses of jingles to identify themselves. This is a somewhat uncommon practice among stations with this format.
On Sundays, WVCR breaks its format for a day of block programming known as Saint Sundays. the programming during this period includes Power & Praise, The Catholic Chorale, Polka Spotlight (19 years in 2008...however a polish music program has been a continuous music staple on WVCR since February 1975), The Proud to be Irish Show (17 years in 2008), Smitty & Friends (Sinatra Era) and DeSelecciones, which just celebrated its 22nd year on the station in May 2009. The station also broadcasts Siena women's basketball games.
