VOAR (Voice of Adventist Radio) is a Canadian AM radio station, which airs religious programming in Mount Pearl, Newfoundland and Labrador on 1210kHz.
The station first broadcast in the Fall of 1929. It also has several FM rebroadcast transmitters in various parts of the province, and is carried across Canada on Bell ExpressVu Channel 950.
VOAR is one of just four broadcast radio stations in Canada whose call letters do not begin with C. All are located in or near St. John's. The others, VOWR and two VOCM stations, broadcast in St. John's itself, where VOAR was itself originally located.
All of the stations first aired before Newfoundland joined Canadian Confederation in 1949. The ITU prefix VO was originally assigned to Newfoundland and remains in use by Newfoundland and Labrador radioamateurs.
