WVSC (FM)

WVSC is an adult hits formatted radio station known as "SC 103" targeted towards the South Carolina Lowcountry.

History

The station signed on in 1985 on 92.1 with a 3,000 watt signal broadcasting from St. Helena Island, about 10 miles east of Beaufort. Because it was so close to WSGA-FM on 92.3, the station was limited in its transmitter power. In 1999, the station swapped frequencies with WBHC-FM on 103.1 to get a better signal into Savannah. The station has difficulties reaching listeners in Savannah because of its inferior signal. In January 2006 the station was given permission by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to move its tower closer to Savannah.

On November 11, 2013, L & L Broadcasting sold WGZO to Apex Broadcasting; this marks Apex Broadcasting's first entry into the Savannah/Hilton Head market. The sale, at a price of $450,000, was consummated on January 8, 2014.

On February 15, 2014, WGZO changed their call letters to WVSC. On February 21, 2014, WVSC changed their format to adult hits, branded as "SC 103".

The Drive

The Drive refers to an offensive series in the fourth quarter of the AFC Championship Game played on January 11, 1987 at Cleveland Municipal Stadium between the Denver Broncos and Cleveland Browns. Broncos quarterback John Elway, in a span of 5 minutes and 2 seconds, led his team 98 yards in 15 plays to tie the game with 37 seconds left in regulation. Denver won the game in overtime with a field goal, 23–20.

The 98-yard drive ranks as pro football's prototypical clutch performance. Elway and his team spanned almost all of the 100-yard football field. According to an article by Sports Illustrated columnist and Colorado resident Rick Reilly, when Elway started the drive, Broncos offensive guard Keith Bishop said of the Browns, "We got 'em right where we want 'em!" Of note is that Cleveland could not force a fourth down against Denver.

Play-by-play

The Browns had jumped to a 20–13 lead and Denver had muffed the ensuing kickoff when Elway took over, first-and-10 on their own 2-yard line, with 5:32 to play in the game.

The Drive (TV series)

The Drive is a television documentary franchise on the Pac-12 Network. American football and men's basketball within the Pac-12 Conference are chronicled by The Drive: Pac-12 Football and The Drive: Pac-12 Basketball, respectively, in a series of weekly 30-minute episodes. The football series debuted in 2013, while its basketball counterpart began in 2015.

Football

In its inaugural season in 2013, The Drive: Pac-12 Football featured the Arizona State Sun Devils and the California Golden Bears. In its second season, The Drive followed the UCLA Bruins, while 2015 has Utah and Oregon State.

The show is patterned after Hard Knocks, an HBO series with behind-the-scenes access to National Football League training camps. Production of The Drive is led by Pac-12 Networks’ Senior Coordinating Producer Michael Tolajian, who won two Emmy Awards as producer for NBA Entertainment and HBO’s Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel. His production team includes Jim Jorden, who helped launch Hard Knocks and has won 16 Emmys.

Black ice

Black ice, sometimes called clear ice, refers to a thin coating of glaze ice on a surface, especially on roads. The ice itself is not black, but virtually transparent, allowing the often black road below to be seen through it. The typically low levels of noticeable ice pellets, snow, or sleet surrounding black ice means that areas of the ice are often practically invisible to drivers or persons stepping on it. There is, thus, a risk of skidding and subsequent accident due to the unexpected loss of traction. A similar problem is encountered with diesel fuel spills on roads.

Definitions

The term black ice in the United States is often incorrectly used to describe any type of ice that forms on roadways, even when standing water on roads turns to ice as the temperature falls below freezing. Correctly defined, black ice is formed on relatively dry roads, rendering it invisible to drivers. It occurs when in the textures present in all pavements very slightly below the top of the road surface contain water or moisture, thereby presenting a dry surface to tires until that water or moisture freezes and expands; drivers then find they are riding above the road surface on a honeycombed invisible sheet of ice.

Black Ice (book)

Black Ice is the fifth book written by Becca Fitzpatrick. It is told from Britt's point of view as Britt, her friend Korbie, Korbie's brother Calvin, and their friend Bear set off to go backpacking in the mountains for spring break.

Congelation ice

Congelation ice is ice that forms on the bottom of an established ice cover.

Seawater

On seawater, congelation ice is ice that forms on the bottom of an established sea ice cover, usually in the form of platelets which coalesce to form solid ice.

Only the water freezes to ice, the salt from the seawater is concentrated into brine, some of which is contained in pockets in the new ice. Due to the brine pockets, congelation ice on seawater is neither as hard nor as transparent as fresh water ice.

Fresh water

On the surface of lakes, or other bodies of still freshwater, congelation ice is often called black Ice. This ice has frozen without many air bubbles trapped inside, making it transparent. Its transparency reveals the colour, usually black, of the water beneath it, hence the name. This is in contrast to snow ice, sometimes called slush ice, which is formed when slush (water saturated snow) refreezes. Snow ice is white due to the presence of air bubbles.

Black ice grows downward from the bottom of the existing ice surface. The growth rate of the ice is proportional to the rate that heat is transferred from the water below the ice surface to the air above the ice surface. The total ice thickness can be approximated from Stefan's equation.
