Mission

WSCA Radio (106.1 FM) is a low-power community radio station in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The mission of Portsmouth Community Radio is to operate a nonprofit, listener supported, volunteer driven, non-commercial community radio station and a venue, The Button Factory Stage, dedicated to serving the greater Portsmouth and seacoast community. Portsmouth Community Radio is a mixed format station. Like many community stations it broadcasts diverse and alternative programming, most of which is produced locally and reflects the cultural, educational, artistic, civic, and business fabric of the listening community. The station's parent organization is the Seacoast Arts and Cultural Alliance. WSCA provides a voice to the Portsmouth community - especially for those underrepresented or unheard on the Seacoast region.

WSCA leverages its broadcasting reach to support and amplify various local nonprofit organizations through strategic partnerships and the airing of public service announcements (PSAs). These collaborations are central to the station's mission to engage with and support the community effectively. Nonprofit Collaborations WSCA collaborates with a variety of local nonprofits, focusing on those that address critical community needs such as food security, health, and social services. Through these partnerships, the station provides on-air time for PSAs that raise awareness of the nonprofits' missions, current initiatives, and community impact. This exposure is crucial in educating the community about available resources and ways to engage with and support these vital causes. Enhancing Community Support Through Broadcasting The station's active role in broadcasting PSAs helps mobilize community support and resources, which is essential for the effectiveness of the nonprofits' programs. By providing a platform for these organizations, WSCA plays a critical role in fostering a network of support that benefits various segments of the population, particularly the underrepresented and those in need. Impact and Outreach These partnerships not only help in resource mobilization but also in creating a more informed and engaged community. WSCA's commitment to these collaborations underscores its role as a community hub and a voice for public service, amplifying efforts that contribute significantly to the local social fabric.
