WVIE (107.3 FM) is a National Public Radio member radio station in Charlotte Amalie, U.S. Virgin Islands.
Ownership
The station, then known as WVGN, was acquired by Caribbean Broadcasting Network (then known as LKK Group; Keith Bass, President) from Calypso Communications in 2002.[1][2]
While Caribbean Broadcasting Network is a company whose television stations are affiliates of commercial networks, WVGN was operated under a separate arm, Caribbean Community Broadcasting, and solicited and accepted donations from listeners, as would most other NPR members.
Caribbean Broadcasting Network reached a deal to sell WVGN to R.J. Watkins, owner of WHPR-FM and operator of W33BY-D in Detroit, on August 7, 2014;[3] the sale was completed on February 17, 2015,[4] accompanied by a call sign change to WVIE.[5] WVGN's NPR programming continued through March 15, 2015; Watkins replaced this programming with contemporary music and talk shows.[6]
Since November 7, 2015, WVIE's signal was simulcast on W33BY's 3rd subchannel. Until then, it had been a SD simulcast of 33.1, 33.2 and 33.4, however, are still simulcasting W33BY-DT1 in SD.
