History
WWVU-FM first went on the airwaves in 1982 when it opened its studios at the Mountainlair. Known as "The Moose," U92 is a hands-on training ground for students interested in programming music, producing digital content in state-of-the-art studios, providing live Mountaineer sports coverage, or reporting on local and state news. The station is completely student-run and while there is a professional staff member who oversees the operation, it is up to the student directors and volunteer staff to create all content. U92 is currently managed by WVU Student Media, and broadcasts alternative rock and college rock in its "regular rotation." The station currently has programs dedicated to jazz, metal, punk, hip hop, and other genres,[4] and broadcasts several WVU sports including men's and women's soccer, men's and women's basketball, baseball, and more.[5]
