WVBW-FM

WVBW-FM (100.5 MHz, "100.5 The Vibe") is a commercial radio station licensed to Norfolk, Virginia, and broadcasting to the Hampton Roads area.

WVBW-FM airs an urban adult hits radio format and is owned and operated by Max Media.

[7][8] WCMS was originally a daytimer, broadcasting on a clear-channel frequency reserved for XEG in Monterrey, Mexico.

[13] The deal included the corporate office building and studios at 900 Commonwealth Place in Virginia Beach.

After more than 40 years of country music, the format was dropped entirely at 11:30 p.m. on November 28, 2003, with "On the Road Again" by Willie Nelson as its final song.

Morning drive time DJ Joe Hoppel continued his duties alongside newscaster Jim Long and co-host Jennifer Roberts.

[19] On January 13, 2014, at 8:45 a.m., after stunting for an hour with construction sounds, WVHT was relaunched, keeping the "Hot 100.5" name and Top 40 format.

On June 17, 2022, at 6 p.m., after playing "Never Be The Same" by Camila Cabello, WVHT began stunting with a loop of "Vivrant Thing" by Q-Tip as a prelude to a flip to a new format under the "100.5 The Vibe" branding.

At 5 p.m. on June 20, WVHT flipped to what station management describes as "urban adult hits" under the "Vibe" branding, launching with "Sir Duke" by Stevie Wonder.

Max Media described the format as featuring a "massive playlist" of songs from the hip hop, classic hip hop, R&B, and classic soul genres, under the oversight of new vice president of operations and programming Eddie Haskell, and new program director Anthony ‘Tone Hollywood’ Wheeler.

[32][33] On June 26, 2022, radio industry website RadioInsight disclosed that Max Media had applied to move the WVBW call letters from the co-owned station on 92.9 FM to match the new format.
