WUVA

WUVA began broadcasting at the University of Virginia in the 1940s as an unlicensed, AM carrier-current station.  They became officially licensed in 1979 and began transmitting at 92.7 FM.  WUVA was an independent, non-profit corporation and legally unaffiliated with the University of Virginia but was still registered as a student organization.  This was in contrast to WTJU, a more traditional campus station that was owned and operated by the school.  WUVA was a Rock station at first and later switched to Top-40 and by the 1990s played Adult Contemporary music.  A flip to Urban Contemporary took place in 1996 and another flip to Country in 2015.  After the station was sold in 2017 the new owners changed the call letters to WCVL while retaining the Country format.
