WVUB
WVUB (91.1 FM, "Blazer 91.1") is a radio station in Vincennes, Indiana, United States. It is a student-operated radio station at Vincennes University (VU), operating from studios in Davis Hall on the Vincennes University Main Campus and transmitter is located approximately 2 mi southeast of Vincennes, near Vincennes Lincoln High School. It uses a shortened version of the school's mascot, the Trailblazers, in its moniker. The station broadcasts an adult album alternative ("Triple-A") format, along with newscasts from NPR, and serves as a training ground for students enrolled in Vincennes University's broadcasting program. Students also gather and produce local news for WVUB and WVUT television, also a service of the university.
History
On September 2, 1970, the FCC awarded a construction permit to Vincennes University to build a new noncommercial radio station on 91.3 MHz. The station began broadcasting on that frequency on December 7, 1970, before being approved in 1973 to move to 91.1 MHz at 50,000 watts, a change carried out the next year. Prior to 2021, the station broadcast a hot adult contemporary format. The current Triple-A format was instituted in 2019 on the station's HD Radio subchannel, "ALT 91", as an additional outlet for student involvement.
