MARTINSVILLE MEDIA

WMVA-AM1450 began broadcasting on May 1, 1941 and operated at 1450 kilohertz with 1,000 watts power, 24 hours a day. Martinsville Media purchased WMVA in 2005 and discontinued operations on Jan. 28, 2019 after the tower and properties for WMVA were sold. The cost of maintaining the site became cost prohibitive as the facilities were designed for a larger operation. The new owner was not interested in continuing the operations of WMVA and obtaining approval and moving to a different location also proved cost prohibitive. WMVA served the community of Martinsville and Henry County for almost 79 years.
