The next opportunity to work at WVCP through the COM 291P class will be in the Spring term, starting January 2009. 

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 also thanks our engineering consultants at Paradigm Associates in Texas for their assistance in moving to the new antenna location.  

Gary and Amanda were extremely helpful and patient with us during this process.

VSCC students are now learning on a new voice track computer.  This is a part of our digital audio system from Scott Studios.  The voice tracker, used by a lot of commercial stations, allows the station to sound live during certain programs when no one is actually in the studio.

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. Holly Nimmo is the Operations Supervisor. 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.
