Listen on your mobile to "WPVM-LP - WPVM 103.7 - Asheville" and many other Internet radio stations, with our Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP).
WPVM 103.7 Brings the listener the unique “Voices of Asheville.” The station is commercial free, listener supported, volunteer-programmed low power fm radio station managed by the Friends of WPVM.
The MAIN construction permit was issued by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on December 30, 2002. The station's first broadcast was in October 2003 under a Low Power FM Class 1 license for 100 watts effective radiated power (ERP). After years of financial problems, the station became dormant in 2011—2014. MAIN's board of directors subsequently voted to divest of WPVM to a newly-formed non-profit, Friends of WPVM, in October 2014. One of MAIN's directors attempted to prevent the transfer. There were several other allegations made against several parties during the dispute, one of which resulted in a $500,000 defamation suit against one board member.[1][2] Despite the controversy that ensued, the FCC approved the license transfer on May 8, 2015.
