WZRC is alive and well and has been on the air for years. The format is Korean.
Their directional antenna has a sharp null to the northeast to protect WSAR in
Fall River, which would make them difficult to hear in Europe.

The mention of a "new" station could have been a reference to WTDY's format as a
"news" station. Also, WTDY's directional pattern is almost completely straight
north.
