History and Programming
When it began on March 13, 1983, WCWV was the only Hot Adult Contemporary station in Nicholas County, West Virginia and used the moniker "C-93 FM". The station played music from a prerecorded/semi-live track broadcast from another location which was also being played on multiple other small local radio stations in southern West Virginia and other areas. On Sundays the station turned its airwaves over to local churches for playing of praise, hymnal songs, and sermons. WCWV-FM broadcast Marshall University football and basketball games as well as football and some basketball games from Nicholas County High School.
In October 2006, the station changed its format to a Gospel/Positive Country/Bluegrass music format, with its Sunday morning schedule devoted to local churches for songs and sermons.[1]
