        Historique

        KVSC is St. Cloud State University's campus radio station that began broadcasting May 10, 1967. The station was managed by Radio and Television Guild students under the supervision of Mass Communications faculty. In 1982, KVSC increased power to comply with FCC regulations and expand the station's coverage area beyond the city of St. Cloud. The power increase neccessitated a frequency change in February 1983 from 88.5 to 88.1 to avoid interference with a Twin Cities station. The guild was dissolved in 1986 and Kevin Ridley was hired as the station's first full time employee. His role was to provide a professional environment and continuity for the station. Ridley resigned in the summer of 1992 and he was replaced soon after by alum Jo McMullen, who remains as of June 2015.

        A faculty general manager was always in charge of the radio station and continued when full-time staff was hired. These faculty were given release time to help manage the station. This reporting structure continued until July 2014 when the station manager no longer reported to a faculty member and instead to the Assistant Vice President for Marketing and Communications.

        In 1980, KVSC began the trivia contest weekend that has become the station's most popular and largest programming event. Created intially to give St. Cloud State dormitory students something to do over a long weekend, the trivia contest was based on the same type of event held in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, every year.
