WVMM is Messiah University's student-operated radio station, located at 90.7 MHz FM. The station is known by its listeners as "The Pulse". Messiah College had a radio station from 1970–1983. On October 6, 1989, WVMM was resumed, this time as an over-the-air FM radio station. Prior to that, it was heard only on campus. WVMM now operates at 100 watts, and can be heard throughout the Harrisburg area.
