History

Shallotte Broadcasting Company

The Shallotte Broadcasting Company applied for a new broadcasting license on April 30, 1962, which was granted on September 11, 1963. On October 3, 1963, the callsign WVCB was attached to the construction permit.[3] WVCB began broadcasting on June 11, 1964. Its license was granted on January 12, 1965.[4]

In January 1984, John Worrell bought the station.[5] Upon his death, ownership transferred to his wife, Joyce.[6] On December 24, 2014, the station went off the air;[7] it returned to the air on December 6, 2015.[8] WVCB changed its format in April 2017 to a more contemporary and gospel music format, adding national and local ministries as broadcast partners. WVCB also began streaming its broadcast on TUNEIN and the website.
