History

On September 2, 1970, the FCC awarded a construction permit to Vincennes University to build a new noncommercial radio station on 91.3 MHz. The station began broadcasting on that frequency on December 7, 1970,^[2] before being approved in 1973 to move to 91.1 MHz at 50,000 watts,^[3] a change carried out the next year.^[4]

Prior to 2021, the station broadcast a hot adult contemporary format. The current Triple-A format was instituted in 2019 on the station's HD Radio subchannel, "ALT 91", as an additional outlet for student involvement.^[5]
