New opportunities to work at WVCP through the COM 291P class begin with the start of each Fall, Spring and Summer term.

WVCP-FM 88.5-1 started broadcasting a hybrid FM/HD signal on September 2, 2011.  WVCP-FM 88.5-2 first went on the air October 6, 2011.  It's programming is Classic Rock and Student CD's and Projects. Listeners that have not upgraded to an HD radio will continue to receive the programming that they have always received from the WVCP-1 analog service.

Just when you thought FM radio couldn't get any better, it has! By upgrading to an HD digital radio, you can get FM in improved CD quality. Plus, you'll receive new FM stations that your analog radio can't pick up. It's time to investigate digital HD FM radio!
Volunteer State Community College thanks Cumberland Electric Membership Corporation for allowing WVCP to occupy antenna space on their Gallatin tower.  This free, public service from CEMC is greatly appreciated.

WVCP is Volunteer State Community College's student FM radio station.  We are located in Suite 169 of the Ramer Administration Building. The station broadcasts at 88.5 on your FM dial.           

Howard Espravnik is the Station Manager. James Milliner is the Chief Operator. The station is staffed by VSCC students and community volunteers.  

Students in the Radio & TV Broadcasting option of the Communication Major have the opportunity to learn all facets of radio broadcasting, including on-air station operations. Work at the college station places an emphasis on doing things in a professional manner, much like the way they would be done in a commercial radio station.  This includes following the rules of the Federal Communications Commission, following station formats and policies as well as the associated  paperwork.

After getting some communications experience at VSCC, many students enroll in Cooperative Work Experience in Communication (COM 285) to do an internship at an outside station or agency. VSCC has had successful interns at recording companies, Nashville television stations, Nashville and local radio stations, as well as at production houses, advertising agencies and television networks. Successful VSCC communication students now work at locations including WTVF News Channel 5 in Nashville and cable station News Channel 5 Plus, WHIN, WRVW, WRQQ, WWTN, WQZQ, WKDF, WGFX, and Knoxville's Home and Garden Television.

For more information on the Communication Department at VSCC, go to the program's Home Page.
