WCDB Cart Wall of Fame

So many entertaining and creative promos and IDs have been created for WCDB during its 30+ years. Before the modern, digital age, WCDB used to record all these items onto plastic tape cartridges called "carts." Although the technology of carts gave way to Minidisc playback and currently computer playback, WCDB still calls these short form recordings "carts."
