VOWR (800 kHz) is a non-commercial, listener-supported radio station in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
The station is operated by the Wesley United Church of Canada with studios and offices at 101 Patrick Street.
[2] VOWR is one of just four broadcast radio stations in Canada whose callsigns do not begin with CB (for the CBC), CF, CH, CI, CJ, or CK.
With exception of VOCM-FM, which launched in 1982, all of these stations were founded before Newfoundland joined the Canadian Confederation in 1949.
The ITU prefix VO was originally assigned to Newfoundland and remains in use by radio amateurs.
