WQCD (1550 AM) is a commercial oldies radio station licensed to serve Delaware, Ohio, locally owned by Brent Casagrande through licensee Delmar Communications, Inc. The station primarily serves the Delaware County region and the northern portion of the Columbus metropolitan area as a full-time simulcast of WXGT in Columbus. In addition to a standard analog transmission, WQCD is relayed over analog Delaware translator W225CM (92.9 FM), and is also available online; as WXGT's FM translator W225CS (92.9 FM) also broadcasts on the same frequency, WXGT and WQCD brand as "My 92.9". The WQCD/WXGT studios are located in Columbus's Brewery District, while the WQCD transmitter is located in Delaware.

The station broadcasts at 5,000 watts during the day and 29 watts at night as a Class D operation, to protect nearby Class-A clear-channel station CBEF Windsor, Ontario.
