WVMP is an Adult Album Alternative formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Vinton, Virginia, serving Metro Roanoke, Virginia.[1] WVMP is owned by Dr. William E. Amos' Community Media Group, LLC.[2]
WVJT, LLC, owner of several full-powered stations in the Roanoke/Lynchburg/Bedford market, began operating WVMP by LMA on August 1, 2016, and announced intentions to purchase it outright from Community Media Group on August 3. Amos cited the decreasing amount of time he had to devote to the station, but became a minority shareholder in WVJT, LLC. No changes to format or branding came with the agreement.[3] WVJT withdrew the application to transfer control on October 19, although the LMA remains in effect. [4]
