WVOE,S SLOGAN IS "MUSIC WITH A MESSAGE"

All the credit goes to Dec.Willie J Walls for all that he has done we are very appreciative


We are seeking the requested amount to refurbish and revitalize the station so we may bring it back to its original quality and glory. We have roof problems and an internal leak into the building . we are also in need of a new sound board and many other electrical devices such as a functioning air conditioner.  the community has always been a help but we truly need this blessing to keep this wonderful station and the memory of Mr. Willie J Walls going for many years to come with the music that he dedicated his life to. Thank you and may the lord be with you all and may you all be blessed .
