WGVU-FM

WGVU-FM is an NPR member station serving Grand Rapids, Michigan.

WGVU-FM began broadcasting on July 17, 1983, as WGVC-FM, owned by what was then Grand Valley State College.

As a legacy of its time as a campus radio station, WGVU-FM operates at 4,000 watts from its transmitter near Coopersville.

This is fairly modest for a full NPR member on the FM band; most of Grand Rapids and its inner-ring suburbs only get a marginal signal.

In the mid-1980s, the station bore the WRNF ("We're Rock Ninety Five") calls while continuing with a Top 40 format.
