We Think Different
At WPVM, radio is an art form; it’s a part of our society; it colors the way we act and the way we treat each other; it’s much bigger than a tool for propaganda or to make a dollar. WPVM is different radio; we believe it is a way to connect communities locally, nationally, and globally.
More than a century old, radio is an ever-evolving medium that continues to define itself. The same technology discovered or developed by the early pioneers like Morse and Tesla is still being used in our cellphones, personal listening devices such as iPods, GPS navigation, radar weather reports, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and internet radio. Radio’s power is the ability to connect on an intimate level; the only medium that can do that.
In a world where everyone now has a bullhorn, we are literally bombarded with “noise” from every corner of the universe. At WPVM, we cut through the “noise” and bring you programming that is worth listening to.
Those who have traveled abroad are well aware of the influence American music has on the world. The golden age of American music from the 20s to the 90s was a time when creativity flourished like no other in history. The music of this period endures internationally and is destined to become the classics of the modern age and will be heard centuries from now.
Whether it be news, public affairs, or music, we try to bring the most authentic programming to our audience, both locally on 103.7 and internationally on the World Wide Web.
dialogue, informs, entertains and raises local, regional and global community awareness.
he New WPVM is Asheville’s truly independent hometown radio, which means we create all of our programming entirely by volunteer show hosts and dj’s. By FCC law we are not allowed any commercial advertisements.
