Located on the campus of Rider University in Lawrenceville, NJ, 107.7 The Bronc WRRC-FM is a 20-watt, Class-D, non-commercial radio station licensed by the FCC to the Board of Trustees of Rider University and exclusively run by students and overseen by a General Manager/Student Adviser. 107.7 The Bronc has gained recognition from many credible organizations. The Bronc has been awarded with the highly lauded National Association of Broadcasters Marconi Radio Award for College Radio Station of the Year as well as the International Broadcasting System Media Award for Best Radio Station and Best Morning Show.
