WCKR (92.1FM) is aradio station broadcasting aTop 40 (CHR) format. Licensed toHornell, New York, United States, the station serves the Canisteo Valley area. The station is currently owned by GRI Telecom, a company controlled by Dawn Ichikawa.[2]

For most of its history on air, WCKR was acountry music station, a format it abandoned in May 2017 in favor of top 40. On February 1, 2020, WCKR changed formats from pop music to sports, branded as "92.1 The Team". The station acknowledged that the 2020 format flip was strictly financial, as they could no longer afford to pay royalties to play music. On August 14, 2020, amidwidespread disruption of the sporting world in spring and summer 2020, WCKR relaunched the Fun 92.1 branding and its Top 40 format six months later.[3]

On November 11, 2024, Dawn Ichikawa, owner ofWVIN andWABH, announced an agreement to purchase WCKR and WLEA from the Doran family. Ichikawa's husband Gordon had been negotiating with Doran's son Brendan to buy the stations before Gordon's death in December 2023.[4]

The transmitter facilities are located on Tobes Hill.
