About VOCM
VOCM is Newfoundland and Labrador's best-known radio station. It broadcasts on 590 AM from St. John's under the call sign VOCM and is owned by Stingray Group, which runs a network of stations across the province. Its slogan is Local News Now. VOCM's call sign is a reminder of the time before Confederation, when Newfoundland was a separate dominion and its stations used call signs beginning with VO.

Local news first
VOCM is a full-service station: news, talk and music. Its newsroom covers St. John's and every part of the province, from the Avalon Peninsula to Central Newfoundland, the West Coast and Labrador, and the station is one of the first places people turn to during storms, power outages and other emergencies. News bulletins run throughout the day, and VOCM's website and social media follow the same local news.
Talk and call-ins
Call-in programming has long been part of VOCM's identity. Listeners phone in to discuss politics, health care, the fishery, the economy and everyday life in Newfoundland and Labrador, and the conversations often set the agenda for the province. The station's hosts are well-known voices across the province.
Music
Outside the news and talk programmes, VOCM plays classic hits and country, with a place for Newfoundland and East Coast artists. For many listeners, the mix of local voices and familiar songs is what makes VOCM feel like home.
