Biographical/Historical

WVOD is a commercial radio station headquartered in Manteo, N.C., that serves the Outer Banks area. Its call sign stands for "Voice of Dare County," and it was originally broadcast under the title "Your Voice of Dare" on 99.3 FM. WVOD was founded in 1986 under the company name Orbit Communications, with the first broadcast airing Easter weekend of that year. The original studio and offices were located on the downtown Manteo waterfront, across the street from the Dare County courthouse. The station eventually expanded and moved to 99.1 FM, and in 1996 it began broadcasting under the name "99.1 The Sound." The station was sold several times before being purchased in 2018 by Jam Media Solutions. As of 2021, it still operates as an adult album alternative music station.
