-'''WVVB-FM''', '''''"105.5 The Vulcan"''''', was a Clear Channel-owned modern rock [[List of radio stations|radio station]] that broadcast on the [[FM 105.5]] frequency at an effective radiated power of 29.5 kilowatts. It was licensed to [[Hoover]] and served the [[Birmingham]] market from studios at 530 [[Beacon Parkway West]]. The station was broadcast from the [[WJLD Tower]] on [[Red Mountain]] ({{Locate coords inline | lat = 33.48444 | lon = -86.80695 | zoom = 15 | type = h}}).
-In December [[2006]], a few days after the demise of [[WRAX]], [[WENN]] abruptly dropped the gospel format and became a new modern rock station, known as "105.5 The Vulcan" (after Birmingham's Vulcan statue). The change was protested by a crowd of about 50 people at Kelly Ingram Park on [[December 9]].
-On [[September 19]], [[2008]], The Vulcan changed call signs to WVVB-FM. On [[July 6]], [[2009]] the station announced it was dropping that format and rebroadcasting [[WERC-AM]]'s talk radio programming as [[WERC-FM]].
