WNVA is a Sports formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Norton, Virginia, serving Norton and Wise County, Virginia. WNVA is owned and operated by Bristol Broadcasting Company, Inc.[1]
History
On September 7, 2007, Radio-Wise, Inc. received a $4,000 fine from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for not keeping WNVA's public files in order. The Enforcement Bureau sent Radio-Wise, Inc. a notice regarding the proposed fine, along with a detailed complaint, on July 20 but got no reply from the station's owner. Now, the FCC is demanding the operator send a $4,000 check to the FCC's bank within 30 days.[2]
In the early part of 2012, WNVA dropped their Classic Country for Sports with programming from ESPN Radio.
Radio-Wise sold WNVA and sister station WNVA-FM to Bristol Broadcasting Company for $35,000, enough to settle property tax debts and outstanding FCC fines; the sale closed on January 16, 2015.
