WTCY

Radio station in Greilickville, Michigan, United States

WTCY (88.3 FM) is a Catholic radio station licensed to Greilickville, Michigan serving the Traverse City area of the northwestern region of Michigan's lower peninsula. It began as an FM repeater of WTCK 90.9 FM in Charlevoix with main studios located near the Cross in the Woods Catholic Shrine in Indian River. In the spring of 2015, the main studio moved from its Indian River beginnings to a new facility in Traverse City.

01Brief history

WTCY began in July 2010 as a construction permit issued to the Grand Traverse Area Catholic Schools which was sold in November of that year to Baraga Broadcasting. By 2011 the construction permit was modified and the power upgraded from that of the original construction permit. Its licence was granted by the FCC in May 2011.

In the fall of 2014 a new logo and branding "Baraga Radio" was introduced along with a new website The Catholic Light Dot Com Archived February 21, 2015, at the Wayback Machine coupled with its 2015 move of its main studio from Indian River to Traverse City.

WTCK (licensed to Charlevoix) is now a repeater station with its former main studio in Indian River.

On December 11, 2019, WTCY and its sister stations were acquired by Immaculate Heart Media, bringing Relevant Radio programming to Northern Michigan.
