WCVF-FM (88.9 MHz) is a college radio station in Fredonia, New York. The station is licensed to the State University of New York at Fredonia. "CVF" stands for "Campus and Community Voice of Fredonia," the station's slogan. The station primarily features "alternative" rock, but includes an eclectic mix of genres at consistent times throughout the week. Listeners can catch blocks of Polka, Spanish, Blues, Jazz, Folk, Reggae, Hip Hop and anything in between. Live programs hosted by student and community jocks can be of any format/genre from talk, music, to radio drama. WCVF also covers local sports and includes live broadcasts/commentary for several Blue Devil teams. Our music director reports to College Music Journal for charting, and devotes time slots for new music sent to the station.

WCVF broadcasts NPR Monday through Friday: Morning Edition and All Things Considered. These broadcasts are graciously achieved through a partnership with NPR member station WQLN-FM in Erie, Pennsylvania.

WCVF-FM has a sister station WDVL which broadcasts via internet streaming and a local cable channel.
