[edit] History
WOLV-TV started during the 1994-1995 academic year, when a couple of students were shocked to learn that the university did not have a student television station. Led by Danny Schwab (President), Scott Doyne (Vice-President), and Jeff Holzhausen (Sports Director), WOLV's main aim was to get the project off the ground. Because WOLV-TV did not have a studio, the main focus of production was airing Michigan Ice Hockey games. In its first year of existence, WOLV-TV earned the outstanding new organization award.
Since the first year, WOLV-TV has made many advances, including a fully-operational studio, industry-quality equipment, and the continuation of production of Michigan Ice Hockey games, along with expansion to other sports, such as women's basketball.
