WVKO-FM (103.1 FM, "Mega 103.1") is an Spanish radio station playing Spanish Adult Contemporary and some Regional Mexican music. WVKO is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to serve the community of Columbus, Ohio.

According to filings with the FCC, the station ceased broadcasting on May 5, 2006 as the license holder was in bankruptcy. In January 2007, the station license was transferred to Bernard Ohio LLC.[1] The FCC granted permission to resume operations on June 19, 2007.

Bernard Radio is a company that operates several radio stations on behalf of the D.B. Zwirn investment fund. The Zwirn hedge fund is attempting to sell off the radio stations in its porfolio in order to terminate the fund.[2]
