WVCP celebrated its Grand Re-opening on April 9th,
2008, during Communication Week!
|

The office of Holly Nimmo, WVCP Operations
Supervisor, will remain in the Wallace Health Sciences Building, room
102G, until repairs are completed in the Caudill Building. Howard
Espravnik, WVCP's General Manager, is in office number 166 in the
Ramer Administration Building. Their phone numbers have not
changed.
Thank you for your concern and interest in
WVCP 88.5 FM, Vol State College Radio. |
 |
The next opportunity to work at WVCP through the COM
291P class will be in the 10-week 2008 Summer term, starting May 27th.

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.

program's
