WNCD is a classic rock radio station in Youngstown, Ohio owned by Clear Channel, broadcasting at 93.3 MHz. Its signal covers Youngstown, Warren, and New Castle, PA, and at times even reaches Erie and New Kensington, Pennsylvania. However, as one approaches Meadville and points east, a station from Jamestown, New York starts to interfere with WNCD's signal. WNCD goes by the nickname "93.3 The Wolf".

WNCD's morning programming comes from Bob & Tom, from 6am to 10am. Until May 2007, the station's playlist featured an active rock (or "heritage rock") format, playing classic rock from artists such as Led Zeppelin, Ozzy Osbourne, and AC/DC, while playing new rock from Nickelback. WNCD is also Youngstown's radio affiliate for Cleveland Browns football. The station primarily competes with WYFM for listeners.

WNCD now webcasts its signal at their website, [http://www.wncd.com WNCD.com] .

History

Prior to August 30, 2000, WNCD was "CD106 the Wolf", located at 106.1 on the FM dial and licensed to nearby Niles, Ohio. After that, WNCD traded with sister WBBG for the much stronger 93.3 frequency. In the past, the station has been branded as "CD 93.3 The Wolf" and "93.3 NCD", the ladder name being derived from fellow Clear Channel classic rock station WDVE in Pittsburgh which goes by the name "102.5 DVE". The station still uses the "Rocks" slogan originally from WDVE.

Back to the Wolf

In May 2007, WNCD switched branding again, going back to 93.3 The Wolf from the previous 93.3 NCD.
