Launched in 1987, WVFS Tallahassee is one of four radio stations that broadcast from the Florida State University in the Tallahassee area. (WFSU, WFSQ and WFSW are the others.) WVFS is often referred to as V89, "The Voice", or "The Voice of Florida State". WVFS broadcasts at 89.7 FM. The station is staffed by student and community volunteers. Featuring no automation, the deejay booth at WVFS is manned 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year. New and experimental music is played to provide an alternative to regular radio.

Programming

The programming schedule at WVFS is divided into three categories:

Regular Programming

Regular programming time slots feature a combination of newly released material, music from the WVFS Catalog, and listener requests. Regular programming also occasionally features News, Weather, and Concert Updates, promotional announcements, and public service announcements (PSAs).

Specialty Programming

Specialty programming on WVFS consists of 28 named shows of varying lengths which air at routinely scheduled times, either once every "week" or every "month".

Exceptional Programming

Exceptional programming specifically refers to three weekday "featurettes" broadcast on WVFS: "Caffeine-A-Go-Go," the "12 O'clock Takeover" and the "Album Side at Five". These featurettes straddle the fence between Regular and Specialty programming. They resemble Specialty programming by having a clear theme, but differ from every other specialty show in that they occur five times every week (Monday through Friday) instead of once every week, or once every month. Additionally, Specialty programming is exempt from promotional announcements and PSAs, while Exceptional programming is not. One final difference to note would be length. With the exception of "Caffeine-A-Go-Go," the typical length for Exceptional programming is approximately 15-30 minutes, unlike Specialty programming which varies from one to four hours. "Caffeine-A-Go-Go" has a running time of four hours.
