Our service to the community We offer a number of radio programs produced by local African-American programmers and featuring music rooted in African-American traditions. We offer locally produced Spanish language programs. This provides diverse voices of the community unavailable elsewhere. Through WCOM the Public Galley of Carrboro offers an open platform for PSAs from local non-profits throughout our offerings. The "Time Out" program on Mondays at 5PM provides in depth and thought interviews with important people in our community, including annual visits by Congressman David Price and regular appearances by former Carrboro mayor and State Senator Ellie Kinaird. Currently, "Time Out" presents monthly interviews with Town of Carrboro department heads. Wednesday's "Wake Up Call" offers interviews with Orange County leaders such as County Commissioner Renee Price and former Chapel Hill mayor Mark Kleinschmidt. Listeners Served WUNC-FM 91.5 is the only radio station licensed to Orange County that subscribes to the Arbitron rating service. WCHL, WXYZ, WCOM, and WHUP do not due both to the expense and because there are little more than a dozen Arbitron reporters in Orange County, making for less than accurate reports. WCOM does collect data for online listenership, however, most recently for September, October, and November 2015. Our website receives 800 visits per day. The median number of listeners at any one time to our Internet streaming is 8.85. We broadcast 24 hours per day. Thus any one 24-hour period would generate 212.4 listener-hours. For a year that computes to 77,526 listener hours. The eight-week sampling period in the autumn of 2015, www.wcomfm.orq gained 314 new unique visitors, roughly 6 per day or a 1.8% increase of over the weight weeks. During the same time, mean total hits on www.wcomfm.orq increased from 521.7 per day to 800.2 during the eight weeks, an increase of 278.5 per day or 53.3%.
