The studios were located in the basement of Desautels Hall. The station operated with a couple of watts from an antenna on the roof of Desautels at times struggling to cover the entire campus, but occasionally having listeners up to a mile way. It started out on 89.1FM, but moved to 88.1 FM once the College of The Holy Cross radio station (WCHC) went on the air at 89.1. WCHC ultimately moved to 88.1, but WACR was long gone by the time this happened.
