WOVV (Ocracoke’s Village Voice) is a nonprofit community radio station noted for its eclectic mix of music genres and weekly music shows prepared by volunteers.

Daily updates on programming are posted on its Facebook page, Ocracoke Community Radio WOVV 90.1 FM

Through programs such as the weekly ‘What’s Happening on Ocracoke’ and public service announcements, it keeps the community and visitors informed on local news.

The station plays a key role during emergency events such as hurricanes heading our way and has an emergency back up generator when the island loses its power.
