WVHC RADIO STREAMING LIVE

HERKIMER, N.

Y., April 8 -- The State University of New York's Herkimer County Community College issued the following news release:

Herkimer County Community College's radio station WVHC-FM (91.5) is now streaming live at http://www.herkimer.edu/wvhc and http://radio.herkimer.edu:8000/live. The announcement coincides with Jazz Month, which is celebrated annually in April.

WVHC is best known for its jazz programming, the only of its kind in the Mohawk Valley. It also airs a mix of student-produced programs, athletic events, and other campus events.

WVHC was established in 1986 under the name of WHCR and aired in conjunction with the College's television station HCTV, which was "Group W" Cable Now, Time Warner's cable public access channel. At that time, the station was given the frequency of 91.5 on the FM dial and 435 watts of transmitted power. WHCR started out as a "public address" system in 1973 and only provided a signal in the Robert McLaughlin College Center. The station signal currently reaches about a 15-mile radius of the campus.

HCCC President Ann Marie Murray said, "We are thrilled that WVHC can now be heard live worldwide through the internet. This enables our students' families, alumni and all jazz enthusiasts to enjoy listening to our student-produced shows and jazz programming regardless of location."

WVHC airs programming 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. The schedule for the spring 2011 semester includes WVHC News, a student-produced newscast, at 1:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and The Sports Box at 12:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. A variety of student shows air on Friday afternoons starting at 1:30 p.m. such as Look Back at the 90's, R & B Power Hour, C Squad, Friday Night Tribute, Rock of Ages and Time Traveler. A wide variety of jazz music rounds out the schedule and includes Jazz at Lincoln Center at 10:00 a.m. on Saturdays and a re-broadcast on Sunday afternoons at 2:00 p.m.

The programming schedule may be updated each semester and will be available at http://www.herkimer.edu/wvhc. For any query with respect to this article or any other content requirement, please contact Editor at htsyndication@hindustantimes.com
