WIVV is one of threeAMradio stations that compriseThe Rock Radio Network. The station has its own standalone studio facilities inVieques. However, most of its programming originates from the main hub ofThe Rock Radio Network atWBMJ inSan Juan, Puerto Rico. Its programming is bilingual and consists largely of biblical teaching in English and in Spanish. WIVV also broadcasts a limited amount of Christian music.
WIVV first went on the air in 1956.[3] It was founded as a missionary outreach station through the work of the American missionaries Don and Ruth Luttrell. They inaugurated the station by airing Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus."[4] In honor of this, The Rock Radio Network ends every "Sharathon" fundraising event with the "Hallelujah Chorus" and prayer. For more on the history of WIVV, seeThe Rock Radio Network.
In 2008, The Rock Radio Network was in the final stages of a complete renovation of the studio facilities of WIVV. 2008 saw a brand new transmitter, a new studio building, and plans for a new tower. The old studio building was emptied and prepared to be converted into a garage. For more information on WIVV, seeThe Rock Radio Network.
