During evening hours and a few weekend shifts WMSC broadcasts specialty shows: WMSC features a number of talk, local news and local sports shows The sports department broadcasts all home and select away games for both men's and women's Red Hawk teams.

By the second semester of his junior year Ed Helvey had recruited a core group of students who became the foundation of "The Voice of Montclair State".

Mr. Tete Tetens Jr., an Education professor and a broadcast engineer licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) who worked part-time for WPAT at its Clifton, NJ AM transmitter site, became the faculty adviser.

The Voice of Montclair State was also the recipient of the funds raised by the 1966 annual MSC Carnival, providing seed money to get the organization launched.

The fall 1966 semester found the members of The Voice of Montclair State working on programming ideas and schedules, acquiring equipment including several low power AM transmitters to be installed in MSC dormitories to launch an AM carrier-current station by the beginning of 1967.

Other members of the WVMS staff solicited and gained the enthusiastic assistance and support of many organizations on the Montclair State campus to create 27 hours of continuous live programming that included a talent show, performances by various campus musical groups, interviews, a sports car rally and various other events that allowed the communities in northern New Jersey and the New York metropolitan area to learn what Montclair State College was all about and all of the community oriented activities that were available for their participation and enjoyment.

[6] WKXW wanted to reduce interference that WMSC's facility caused to its own broadcasts and had threatened to even petition for the cancellation of the station's license if it did not accept an offer to move.

[6] The FCC accepted the application over the objections of Fordham University's WFUV; Press covered up to $25,000 of frequency change-related expenses and donated $100,000 in services, including the ability to rebroadcast news and weather reports from WKXW, in the run-up to the change, which took place in March 1995.

[citation needed] On March 6, 2020, the students were at a collegiate conference in New York City when Governor Murphy made an announcement about the pandemic and restrictions.

After an extended Spring Break, general manager Anabella Poland and Chief Engineer Adam Goldberg devised a plan to keep the station operational remotely, giving the students the opportunity to broadcast live on WMSC.

On March 23, The Morning Buzz went live remotely from each student's home with Poland guiding the sensitive content reporting and Goldberg connecting everyone to the station.
