Physical and Technical Expansion
In 1972, WVUM went stereo and in 1978, the station completely renovated the studio facilities on the second floor of the Whitten student center. The station would remain there until a larger space downstairs was renovated in 1999 offering two studios and an office. Previously, this new space had been a Barber Shop (that went bankrupt in the later 1960s/early 1970s because of the Hippy movement) and a Bowling Alley motor room. In 2008, for the 40th year of WVUM, IKEA completely aesthetically renovated the office in the University Center.
In 1981, the FCC requested all 10-watt stations to increase to at least 100 watts. At that time, WVUM made the necessary arrangements to increase to 365 watts. In 1993, the station expanded to 1,300 watts. In 2000, the station began broadcasting online on wvum.org.
