WVCC (720 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Hogansville, Georgia, and serving West Central Georgia, including LaGrange and Newnan. It airs a talk radio format and is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. Most programming on WVCC is syndicated. It carries Premiere Networks shows from Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck. From the Salem Radio Network it carries Hugh Hewitt and Larry Elder. On weekends, sports programming from the Fox Sports Radio Network is heard. On weekdays, most hours begin with Fox News Radio.

WVCC is powered at 7,970 watts, using a non-directional antenna. But because it shares AM 720, the same frequency as "clear channel" station WGN in Chicago, WVCC is a daytimer, required to be off the air at night when AM radio waves travel farther.

History

The station first signed on as WMXY on September 18, 1984. WMXY changed its call sign to WGSE on July 12, 1999, and to the current WVCC on December 22, 2003.

The station was acquired by Clear Channel Communications in 1999. Clear Channel switched the format from oldies to talk. Clear Channel later changed its name to iHeartMedia, Inc., the current owner.
