WVBV or Hope-FM 90.5 is a Christian radio station in Medford Lakes, New Jersey on 90.5 FM. The station's primary focus is teaching the Bible and playing Christian music. The station is owned by Calvary Chapel of Marlton. Many of their teaching programs are produced by Calvary Chapel pastors, although they also run programs from other churches. The music is of the praise and worship variety which they hope will "lead one into the worship of God without attracting too much attention to the music itself." [1]

[edit] History

Calvary Chapel of Marlton began to look into the process for obtaining an FM radio station in 1995, after hearing Chuck Smith of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa discuss how pleased he was with their station, KWVE. The effort took more than 10 years and bore fruit in November 2005 when WVBV went on the air with 21,000 watts on 90.5 FM.
