Before WCCC became a Christian outlet, they never could figure out what format they wanted to have, their rock format and signal couldn't compete with WHCN and WPLR, they actually tried to do an all request format in the early 70s that was different. I remember WAAF in Worcester when I would drive up that way "The Air Force"

I don't think WCCC-FM had an identity problem, at last not for the 12+ years starting around 1998 when they were "The Rock." WHCN and WPLR certainly had a better signal in New Haven due to their down state transmitters locations (Meriden and Hamden, respectively), but WCCC-FM's 23,000 watts from Avon Mountain provided good coverage, not only of Central CT but much farther. They had regular listeners on the CT shore and in southern Vermont.
