WYVC (102.3 FM) is a radio station formerly licensed to serve Camden, Alabama. The station was owned by Down Home Broadcasting. It airs an Urban Gospel music format.[1]
The station was assigned the WYVC call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on January 31, 2007.[2]
The station's broadcast license expired on April 1, 2004, after the station failed to file a timely license renewal. After legal actions and discussions with the FCC, the station's license was cancelled and the callsign deleted from the FCC database on June 24, 2005. A deal was then reached for the station to pay its regulatory fees and re-apply for its broadcast license. However, in 2007 the FCC learned that the station had not stopped broadcasting after its license was cancelled and issued a notice of apparent liability for $14,000 in new fines. After roughly five years of back and forth with the license holder, the FCC determined that the fines would not be paid. The station again failed to renew its license and it expired on April 1, 2012. On April 6, 2012, the station's license was cancelled and its callsign deleted from the FCC's database.[3]
In 2013, WYVC resumed normal broadcasting.
In 'August 2015, WYVC started broadcasting in Stereo.
As of this update, the format is still Gospel.
