WCVS-FM (96.7 FM) is a radio station licensed to Virden, Illinois, United States. The station is currently owned by Neuhoff Corp., through licensee Neuhoff Media Springfield, LLC.[1]

History

The station was assigned call sign WRVI on March 15, 1982.[2] On October 5, 1992, the station changed its call sign to the current WCVS. The station has recently flipped format to active rock, going by the name The Rock @ 96-7.
