History

WVOD-FM began life on 99.3 FM as 99 3D, "Your Voices of Dare". Two Dare County businesswomen established the station under the company name "Orbit Communications", and with the license and engineering permits in place, the station began broadcasting on Easter weekend 1986. At the time the station went on the air, there were only three full-time salaried announcers on the company payroll. The station broadcast with 3 kW, moving to 99.1 in 1989 in order to upgrade to 50,000 watts. The original studio and offices were located in an old hardware store on the Manteo waterfront across the street from the Dare County courthouse.

Around 1996, WVOD became a full-fledged AAA station and the station moniker became 'The Sound 99.1".

In 2006, Convergent Broadcasting LLC, which had bought the station in 2002, sold WVOD, WFMZ, WYND-FM and WZPR to CapSan Media LLC. [1]

Hengooch, LLC bought WVOD, WYND-FM, and WZPR/WFMZ in 2010 for $200,000. Max Radio of the Carolinas operated WVOD, WZPR/WFMZ, WCMS-FM and WCXL as of 2013; WYND-FM was sold. [2]

In 2018, Hengooch, LLC sold all of its North Carolina stations to Jam Media Solutions, LLC. [3]

Davis Media planned to buy WVOD and other stations but the deal is off. [4]
