History

In 1999, WVWC went to a 24 hour format. This was the first time in the stations history that it was on 24/7. The station used voice tracking and an automated system to stay on the Air. The Summer of 2000, was the first summer that C92 was on the air over the summer break. The station was run with a skeleton crew. Over this time the station was managed by Damian Little, a student at WVWC who made C92 sound very commercial, with produced bumpers, IDs and Jingles. The live internet stream was added in later 1999.

Damian Little was the voice talent for C92 from late 1999 till 2000, he was on air talent from 1999-2004. General Manager from 2000-2003.
