WVUV (648 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Hot Adult Contemporary format. Licensed to Leone, American Samoa, it serves the greater American Samoa area. The station is currently owned by South Seas Broadcasting Inc.
WVUV is a sister station to NBC TV station KKHJ-LP, which went by the WVUV-LP callsign until 2008.
After being deleted from the FCC database in January 2005 after a period of inactivity, the station was relicensed and re-assigned the WVUV call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on May 5, 2006.[1]. The FCC application history shows a series of "Stay Silent" requests from February 2006 through 2008, as the station's antenna was damaged and the station was unable to repair it.
The station has filed an application with the FCC to change broadcast frequencies from 648 kHz to 720 kHz.[2] This would include a reduction in power from 10,000 watts day and night to 5,000 watts during the day and 2,000 watts at night. The antenna would also move to 14°20'23"S, 170°46'21"W.
