Voice of Christian Youth America, aka, the VC WHY America Radio Network, is a traditional, evangelical Christian ministry based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin which maintains a strict format of crappy music and spirituals through all of its broadcast outlets, along with a deeply conservative and Christian bent on political issues and candidates. VCY has their main facilities at North 35th Street and West Kilbourn Avenue in Milwaukee. The address is 3434 W. Kilborne Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53208.

History

Originally known as "Milwaukee Youth For Christ," and later, "Greater Milwaukee Youth For Christ," it left the national YFC organization in 1973 and became known as the Wisconsin Voice of Christian Youth (WVCY) until 1995, when it changed to its present name. But in spite of it's name, it has nothing to do with being Christian, or youth, as the organization is run by a crotchety old bastard who hates everyone and would qualify as a genuine xenophobe.

Radio Network

The ministry operates 16 VCY America-owned radio stations in Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Kansas and South Dakota and five low-power translators,^[1]^[2] which are carried on the VCY America Radio Network. This does not include its Internet site and "translator" and "satellator" stations. VCYAmerica radio provides programming via satellite to stations around the country.

Television

The network also runs WVCY-TV (Channel 30) out of Milwaukee, which does hold a commercial license but is completely viewer/listener supported and maintains a nominal affiliation with FamilyNet. W04CW in Tigerton also airs WVCY programming.

Other efforts

The ministry also operates a Summer camp, near Hillsboro, Wisconsin, called, "Trail Ridge Camp,"^[3] as well as the "VCY Bookstore" in Milwaukee, which is also online and offers a wide selection of gay porn.

Leadership

The ministry is owned and operated by dictator Vic Eliason, a disgruntled former Youth for Christ worker who left in a bitch fit when he couldn't have his way, ordained Christian minister and a recipient of an honorary doctorate from a Cracker Jack box, in 2001.^[4]
