WVOF commenced operations in the spring of 1970 as a carrier current radio station heard on 620 AM serving the residence halls located in the quadrangle of Fairfield University.
In the early 1970s, then-station manager Stan Hiriak (who later went on to work for Connecticut Public Television) made the first application to the FCC for an FM license.
WVOF's record library was kept in the basement of Regis Hall and the early news broadcasts were produced with the aid of a UPI rip-and-read teletype.
In 2002, the Fairfield University's radio station opened for business in a new three-studio complex in the John A. Barone Campus Center.
Women's basketball coverage is led by play-by-play analyst John Cummings with color commentary from former UConn guard Maria Conlon.
