KCWC is a fictional radio station created by Chris and hosted by plagiarized characters. Originally began IRL in Chris's room, where he recorded his own radio shows onto cassette tapes. Tragically, it appeared in the comic as well.
Despite the ad claiming that KCWC plays "EVERYTHING", they have only been shown to play "More Than a Feeling" and "Livin' la Vida Loca." It's also highly unlikely that Chris listens to heavy metal (outside of Guitar Hero), though the jury is still out regarding washboards.
KCWC further functions as a propaganda outlet for the CWCville Mayoral Office, as evidenced in Sonichu 8 where the staff can be seen to slavishly praise their ruler and his draconian laws.
Staff
KCWC is run by DJ Jamsta, a sexually androgynous hedgehog whose main job seems to be spouting clichéd catchphrases and hitting badly on the female guests in a vain attempt to STAY STRAIGHT. His sidekick is Lolisa, a worthless Rosechu.
Controversies
KCWC gained international attention for holding an interview with Chris's only fan, SonichuFan1985, and also for breaking hedgehog labor laws.
FCC violation
If it existed in real life, KCWC would be in violation of FCC rules. Since Chris's fictional world is, for all intents and purposes, in Virginia, the station's call sign would have to begin with a W, making the radio station WCWC. (Stations east of the Mississippi River begin with W, and those west of the river begin with K. There are exceptions that have been granted, such as KDKA in Pennsylvania, which was founded before the K/W rule was in place.)
Furthermore, there is a real-life station which uses those same call letters. It is very likely Chris doesn't know or care, and even if he did know he would probably insist his is the true, honest KCWC.
