WCMS-FM (94.5 FM) is a silent radio station, formerly broadcasting a country music format. Licensed to Hatteras, North Carolina, United States, the station serves the Elizabeth City-Nags Head area. WCMS has used the name "Water Country" since it signed on in 1999. The original call sign was WWOC. The change to the WCMS call sign was granted on 7/28/2005. The station was owned by Max Media until 2018 after a sale from Ray-D-O Biz LLC.[2][3]

The station is affiliated with the Motor Racing Network and the Performance Racing Network and carries live broadcasts of NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series, and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series races.[4][5]

On March 31, 2024, WCMS ceased operations.[6] Davis Media had planned to buy WCMS and other stations but the deal will not happen.[7]
