History
A group of students led by Danny Schway (President), Scott Doyne (Vice-President), and Jeff Holzhausen (Sports Director) formed WOLV-TV during the 1994-1995 academic year. The station had no studio at that time and it largely focused on airing Michigan Ice Hockey Games. Despite its limited abiilties, WOLV-TV earned the outstanding new organization award, and has continued functioning since that time. WOLV-TV was granted a studio, control room, and office on the ninth floor of South Quad a few years after its creation. It now operates out of that workspace, which it shares with the Michigan Cable Network. The station adopted its current Constitution in 2011, which is still in force. Starting in the spring of 2010, WOLV students began broadcasting baseball and softball games live on BigTenNetwork.com for BTN. These Student U productions later re-aired on the linear Big Ten Network. This new venture is just the beginning of WOLV's involvement with BTN. In the 2010-2011 school year, WOLV will broadcast more than 50 events for The Big Ten Network.
