wcdb cart wall of fame
Audio Home > WCDB Cart Wall of Fame
So many entertaining and creative promos and IDs have been created for WCDB during its 30+ years. Before the modern, digital age, WCDB used to record all these items onto plastic tape cartridges called "carts." Although the technology of carts gave way to Minidisc playback and currently computer playback, WCDB still calls these short form recordings "carts."

The Station Of Sin
1992 Producer: Mark E. Phillips
This is probably the quintessential WCDB cart, and airs even today on the station. Created as an acknowledgement of the Christian radio stations nearby that share the 90.9 frequency, the cart explores the concept of a WCDB listener calling the religious station DJ to request Ween and other alternative bands of the era. The cart is also the origination of the phrase "WCDB: The station of Sin," which was used as a slogan for many years.
