It's incredible the amount of national attention we get at VCS!

Jennifer Waits is the co-founder of Radio Survivor, a national college radio blog. Ms. Waits travels the country visiting, researching and writing feature articles on college and university radio stations. We were honored to have her come to visit our station and spend the day observing our students in action. She recently published the results of her visit.

The Radio Advertising Bureau, the largest commercial radio industry organization, recognizes our own VCS Radio station as an integral part of the future of broadcasting!  

I was a recently featured guest on the RAB president's "Radio on Main Street" industry podcast. Listen to the recording of that national interview...

Outstanding Performance

It's always wonderful when our students get recognized for their artistry and work! The Downbeat Student Music Awards are the most prestigious of its kind in the world. It names the best high school and university jazz ensembles globally. We are very proud of our students for bringing VCS into the world-class level of upcoming artists! 

If you see a VCS Radio Jazz Ensemble member, give him/her a thumbs-up and congratulations. An award such as this is a rare and big thing!

LIVE means broadcasting as it happens! We'll be broadcasting LIVE from our studios -- including live bands -- even our own local VCS Radio Jazz Ensemble! It's all to kick off a week-long celebration of high school radio across the country!

Do big FM radio stations transmit hidden broadcasts inside their radio signal?  

Yes, some do; and not just the big stations. Even here at KVCB; our station broadcasts nine separate services for different purposes all encoded into our radio waves. Most services are designed for the public to receive with the right equipment, but a couple of them are "secret" and just for us! :)  

April 21st through April 28th, 2018!
