Abstract:

Located in Raleigh, WCPE-FM is North Carolina's only 24-hour classical music public radio station. In 1973, five college students, seeing a need for this type of programming, began the work necessary to bring the station into being. Five years later, on July 18, 1978, WCPE-FM broadcast its first program. Donations from its listeners support the station.
