WVCP is the college radio station of Volunteer State Community College ("Vol State") in Gallatin, Tennessee, broadcasting at 88.5 MHz on the FM dial. It falls under the oversight of the Department of Humanities and is managed by longtime faculty member Howard Espravnik. Students and volunteers make up the airstaff. The station plays a mix of music, ranging from soft adult contemporary to hard rock. The station is currently operating at a limited capacity due to damage sustained from a tornado directly striking the studios.
Storm damage
Its studios on the second floor of Noble Caudill Hall were directly in the path of a large tornado that struck the college and killed nine people across the city of Gallatin on April 7, 2006 during the April 6-8, 2006 Tornado Outbreak. Part of the building collapsed, and WVCP's studios were a near-total loss. Equipment that was not destroyed by the storm sustained heavy water damage.The station was knocked off the air the moment the storm struck, but returned to the air on April 13 in a limited capacity. The station is currently automating from a computer located at the transmitter site. WVCP is exploring on-campus locations for temporary studios, as the future of Caudill Hall is still unknown. Preliminary reports stated the building would be repaired and ready to reopen in August 2007. Later reports state the building is structurally unstable and may face demolition.
Ironically, a few years earlier, strong straight-line winds caused the station's tower north of Gallatin to topple, forcing WVCP off the air for several weeks before the station relaunched on a new tower in a different location.
