WCCN (1370 AM) and WCCN-FM (107.5 FM) are radio stations in Neillsville, Wisconsin, United States. The stations are owned by Central Wisconsin Broadcasting, Inc., and broadcast soft adult contemporary and active rock formats, respectively, from studios in the Wisconsin Pavilion and transmitter sites north of the city. WCCN's signal is additionally relayed full-time over low-power translator W253CN (98.5 FM), also licensed to Neillsville.
WCCN went on the air in 1957 as the first local radio station for Clark County, followed by the FM counterpart in 1964. Central Wisconsin Broadcasting purchased the Wisconsin Pavilion from the 1964 New York World's Fair, which had already been disassembled and moved to Wisconsin, and reassembled it as the studios for the WCCN stations in 1967. The Grap family, the current owners, bought the stations in 1976. The stations operated as one program service airing country music until 1992, when the FM flipped to a rock format and the AM to adult standards.
