Free Speech on the Airwaves

WBCQ strongly supports the United States of America’s constitutional right to free speech. Programs aired by our clients are not censored in any way.

We believes that our programmers have the right to express themselves on the airwaves in any way they seem fit. This is why you will find a diverse mix of music, talk, commentary, spiritual, religious, and commercial programming on WBCQ. We only restrict programming content if the programmer directly advocates harming other human beings based on their race, creed, or national origin.
