What is "wvhc"

WVHC (91.5 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a Variety format. Licensed to Herkimer, New York, USA, the station is currently owned by Herkimer County Community College and operated by the college's Radio/TV Department.

WVHC was established in 1973 under the name of WHCR as a public address system, only providing a signal to the Robert McLaughlin College Center building. In 1986, WHCR began simulcasting on the college's television station HCTV, a Public-access television cable TV channel airing on Group W Cable (now Time Warner Cable), the authorized cable provider for Herkimer County. The station applied for a FCC license in the early 1990s. Since the WHCR call letters were already taken by WHCR-FM in New York City, the station applied for the call letters WVHC. The application was granted in February 1993, and WVHC began operations that October.

Initially, programming was presented during class hours (7am-10pm), but in 1999 WVHC began full-time 24-hour operations. The station is best known for its jazz programming, the only station broadcasting such programming in the Mohawk Valley. It also airs a mix of student-produced programs, athletic events, and other campus events. Student-produced programs are usually heard in the early afternoon, with further programs broadcast on Fridays. The station also broadcasts Jazz at Lincoln Center, a radio program produced by the namesake venue and heard Saturday mornings at 10am.
