WCAI (Woods Hole, Massachusetts, 90.1), WNAN (Nantucket, 91.1) and WZAI (Brewster, 94.3) are National Public Radio member stations serving the Cape Cod and Islands area of southeast Massachusetts. They broadcast primarily news and information programming and are owned by the WGBH Educational Foundation in Boston.
The station was founded by independent radio producer Jay Allison and his organization, Atlantic Public Media, with construction and operation duties assigned to WGBH, and first went on the air in 2000; Atlantic Public Media has also produced local programming for the station. (WNAN went on the air on March 15, 2000) Coverage for WCAI and WNAN didn't reach all of Cape Cod and the nearby islands, however, and in 2005 the third signal, WZAI, went on the air. In addition, an online stream of the station is available over the iTunes radio service.
Apart from being owned by WGBH, there is no connection between the Cape and Islands NPR stations and WNCK Nantucket, which simulcasts WGBH-FM from Boston.
