WVWI (1000 AM) is a radio station licensed to serve Charlotte Amalie, U. S. Virgin Islands. The station is licensed to GARK LLC which is wholly owned by Gordon P. Ackley. It airs a News/Talk format.^[1]

Programming

In addition to its regular programming, this station airs the "dLife Diabetes Minute" health advisory program^[2] and Major League Baseball games as an affiliate of the Atlanta Braves radio network.^[3]

Ownership

The station began operations in October 1962 as WBNB, co-owned with the now-defunct WBNB-TV, the Virgin Islands' first television station.^[4] After founding owners Island Teleradio Service, Inc. sold the TV outlet in 1970, WBNB's call letters were changed to the present WVWI.^[5]^[6] The station's co-founder, Robert Noble, acquired sole control of WVWI that same year, renaming his new company Thousand Islands Corporation. After its facilities were destroyed by Hurricane Marilyn in September 1995, Noble sold the station in 1996 to Randolph Knight, who proceeded to rebuild the station.^[7]

Local businessman Gordon Ackley purchased WVWI and its FM sister station, WWKS, from Knight in 2006. The two men were partners in another radio station, WVJZ, and Ackley also bought out Knight's 50 percent interest in that outlet.^[8]^[9]
