About two-thirds of WVUA’s operating budget is raised through sponsorships, benefits and other student-led fundraising efforts.

Live coverage of UA football, men's basketball, baseball, and softball, among others, is licensed to commercial broadcasting entities.

When a specialty show is not airing on the station, WVUA runs an alternative-rock format, hosted by several regular or "playlist" DJs.

WVUA is located in the Student Media Building at 414 Campus Drive East, Tuscaloosa, AL 35487.

The building also houses The Crimson White, Marr's Field Journal and Student Media administrators.
