Identifying the station Once per hour, WXVU’s Legal ID, which is “WXVU Villanova”, MUST be mentioned for us to fulfill FCC requirements. We suggest you play the recorded Legal ID from the software on the studio computer somewhere around the “top of the hour”, which, for example, if your show began at 2:30 PM, means […]
