ABOUT WUVS 103.7 THE BEAT

The Community Station — The Voice of Muskegon

WUVS-LP 103.7 The Beat is a community-focused radio station serving Muskegon, Muskegon Heights, and the surrounding West Michigan area. Operated by the West Michigan Community Help Network (WMCHN), WUVS was created to give our community a voice, provide access to important information, showcase local talent, and connect residents with the people and organizations working to make West Michigan stronger.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to educate, inform, entertain, and empower our community while using radio and media to improve the quality of life for the people we serve.

WUVS provides a platform for local residents, community leaders, nonprofit organizations, churches, businesses, elected officials, educators, artists, and young people whose voices are not always heard through traditional media.

OUR HISTORY

On November 15, 2001, the West Michigan Community Help Network received approval to operate a new urban educational radio station serving the Muskegon area.

WUVS began testing its signal on February 21, 2002. Since that time, 103.7 The Beat has grown into a trusted community media outlet providing music, information, interviews, public affairs programming, live community broadcasts, and opportunities for local voices to be heard.

On August 2, 2010, our media center was dedicated in honor of Rev. Aaron and Bernice Mayes and the late William Paul Wright, recognizing their contributions and commitment to our community.

MORE THAN A RADIO STATION

WUVS believes community radio should extend beyond the studio. Throughout the years, our staff, volunteers, and supporters have participated in food distributions, youth mentoring, neighborhood improvement projects, health initiatives, job fairs, holiday assistance, community festivals, educational programs, and numerous other efforts throughout West Michigan.

We also provide timely information during severe weather, emergencies, and other situations affecting the safety and well-being of our community.

LOCAL RADIO. LOCAL VOICES. LOCAL IMPACT.

From music and entertainment to interviews with community leaders and conversations about the issues affecting our neighborhoods, WUVS 103.7 The Beat remains committed to being The Community Station.

We don’t just broadcast to the community — we are part of the community.
