KVDW (branded as Vern 1530AM) is a radio station serving the Little Rock metropolitan area with southern gospel and talk programming.

The station broadcasts on AM frequency 1530 kHz and is currently owned by Alvin Simmons, through licensee Habibi's Broadcasting, Inc.

Because it shares the same frequency as "clear channel" station WCKY-AM in Cincinnati, Ohio; KVDW operates only during daytime hours.

History

[edit]

KVDW began its broadcasting activities on December 18, 2006, and has since then maintained its current format. It was formerly known as "Victory 1530."

In addition to the main station at 1530 kHz, KVDW is relayed by an FM translator in order to widen its broadcast area and provide 24 hours coverage.
