[edit] History
WWHV Signed on mid-August 2001. Dumped the Supreme Team after just one year for the nationally syndicated Russ Parr Morning Show. Dumped the nationally syndicated Russ Parr Morning Show on 3/29/2004 for the Supreme Team who were dumped by Clear Channel's "103Jamz" WOWI. WWHV covers the immediate Hampton Roads area especially Virginia Beach, Chesapeake and points south with some protection given to Norfolk because of a 34dBu signal from WRXL (102.1) Richmond but again can be heard all over the immediate Hampton Roads area. Their tower is located just over the border in Chesapeake at 100 meters with 6kW of power (Class A licensed). Their studio is located at 545 S Birdneck Rd Suite 100 in Virginia Beach. Was simulcasting on Winner Broadcasting's WWBR-FM/107.9 West Point (a TSA for $11,000/mo) from 2/2/03 to 1/7/05 and known as "Hot 102.1 & 107.9." This frequency had several owners before their sign-on in August 2001. Craig Siebert originally held the "CP" then Virginia Faith Broadcasting (Bishop L E Willis). In early 2001, Willis sold the "CP" to Steve Hegwood's On Top Communications Inc for $3M. The WANN calls were originally parked here (June 11, 1999). Rumor has it that Craig Siebert chose those calls because he lived in ANNapolis MD until changed to WWHV on July 5, 2001.
