WVVE (95.3 MHz; "Oldies 95.3") is a commercial FM radio station licensed to Grand Marais, Minnesota, United States, and serves the North Shore region. WVVE broadcasts with an ERP of 63,000 watts.
History
95.3 FM Grand Marais (as WXXZ), and 106.7 FM Babbitt (as KOAD) formerly simulcast KQDS-FM from Duluth. In 2017, Midwest Communications sold W288AI (Ely), WXXZ (Grand Marais) and KAOD (Babbitt) to Aurora Broadcasting LLC.
In 2017, WXXZ and KOAD both changed their callsign. WXXZ changed their callsign to WVVE, and KOAD changed their callsign to KZJZ.
In May 2018, after stunting, WVVE and KZJZ launched an adult album alternative format branded as "Radio North Of Ordinary."
In June 2019 Shire & Shore Communications announced that it would sell WVVE to Zoe Communications, Inc.[1]
On September 16, 2019 WVVE returned to air simulcasting oldies-formatted WHRY 1450 AM Hurley, WI.[2]
