rdf:langString WVPH (90.3 FM, "The Core") is Piscataway, New Jersey's community and student-run radio station. The slogan is "Many voices, one station", and is a commercial free, freeform radio station, where the disc jockey can play and say whatever they want, as long as it goes by FCC rules and regulations (such as no on air profanity). It is a broadcasting agreement between the former WRLC AM station from Rutgers, Livingston College and WVPH-FM from Piscataway High School. The two institutions combined forces in 1997 to create an educational opportunity and provide an outlet for both entertainment and information. This radio station is self-governed with help from the two schools and the community. It is student-run, and community members can join the station as DJs. WVPH's transmitter is now located on a communications tower on the Livingston campus of Rutgers University. It was previously located on the roof of Piscataway High School. The transmitter was moved on October 6, 2007, following a day of stunting that led up to the transmitter move. The new coverage area reaches over 85% more people than the old coverage area. In 2009, The Core conducted a live three-day broadcast from the All Points West Festival in Jersey City, New Jersey. DJs facilitated interviews and organized performances in the facility.. Every year since 2011, the Core hosts a music festival at Rutgers called Corefest, with headlines, subheadliners, and local bands. The Core has won awards for several years from the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System.
