WKVA

WKVA (920 AM) is a gold-based soft adult contemporary music formatted radio station in the Lewistown, Pennsylvania market.

The station is owned by WVNW, Inc. WKVA signed on the air on December 4, 1949, with 1000 watts of power, daytime only, and an omni-directional pattern from a single antenna tower at its transmitter site south of Juniata Terrace.

In the early 1960s, WKVA applied for, and was granted, nighttime authority with a directional pattern at 500 watts and consequently constructed two additional towers to accommodate the change.

Announcers such as Fran Fisher, and Kerby Confer, 'cut their teeth' in the radio business at the controls of WKVA.

The Hain's had FM stations WVNW and WCHX in their portfolio of broadcast properties, and WKVA made a logical addition.
