ABC Wimmera (call sign:3WV) is anABC Local Radio station in theWimmera region ofVictoria, Australia. Its primary transmitter is located inHorsham which broadcasts on 594 kHzAM. The station is clearly receivable over most of western Victoria, well beyond the Wimmera. In the past, it was designed to serve this broader region.

3WV – both the station's callsign and original name – was conceived in the mid-1930s, and officially opened on 25 February 1937.^[1] It wasABC's second regional radio station; ABC Wimmera was later joined by four other ABC radio stations in the Western part of Victoria. 3WV was intended as a back-up to Melbourne's3LO duringWorld War II. Japanese bombs never struck Victoria, however 3WV did play a role broadcasting coded messages at times.^[1]

The station's south-west coverage area split from ABC Western Victoria in 2004 to becomeABC South West Victoria.^[1] The station's studios in Baillie Street, Horsham were upgraded in 2006 to digital broadcasting facilities, making them one of the ABC's most advanced studios in Australia.^[1]

From 8 April 2019, the name of the station was changed from ABC Western Victoria to ABC Wimmera to better identify the intended coverage area.^[2]
