About VOWR Radio
VOWR is a community radio station in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, and one of the oldest radio stations in Canada. It broadcasts on 800 AM under the call sign VOWR and is operated by Wesley United Church. The station began broadcasting in 1924, when Newfoundland was still a separate dominion — which is why, like VOCM, its call sign begins with VO. On this page you can listen to VOWR live online, free and without an app.
A community and Christian station
VOWR combines Christian programming with community radio. Its schedule includes church services, gospel and Christian music and inspirational programmes, along with easy listening, folk and traditional Newfoundland music, and programmes made by volunteers. The station is largely run by volunteers, which gives it a warm, local character quite different from commercial radio.
A piece of Newfoundland history
Few radio stations anywhere have been on the air for a century. VOWR has broadcast through the Second World War, Confederation with Canada in 1949 and decades of change in the province, and for many older Newfoundlanders it has been part of family life for generations. The station's long history is a source of pride in St. John's.
Music and voices
Besides religious programming, VOWR plays music that appeals to older listeners, including easy listening, country, folk and Newfoundland songs. Local hosts and community announcements make it a friendly companion, especially for listeners at home during the day.
