Welcome to V103
American Samoa's newest radio
station is V103, WVUV-FM. V103 was launched in March '08 as a sister-station to 93KHJ. WVUV-FM
carries on the tradition of American Samoa's original radio station, WVUV-AM, which went on-air in
1942. Today, V103 features Polynesian and Samoan music, plus local news broadcasts in English and
Samoan.
No matter where you are, you can
listen to V103 live. Just click the "Listen Live" link at left and crank it

Congress is considering a law that could limit the amount of music played by local
radio stations, or even drive some stations to drop music programming altogether by enacting a performance tax
on free, local radio.
For more than 80 years, radio has exposed listeners to new music and artists. This
free airplay, which reaches hundreds of millions of listeners each week, has helped those artists increase
their visibility and popularity, sell concert tickets, CDs, music downloads and merchandise.
If this performance tax passes, funding to support programs featuring local and
regional artists would no doubt be reduced and providing quality local news and public affairs programming will
be more difficult. That would not be good for artists, radio stations, or, more importantly, the millions of
music lovers listening to free radio every day.

radio.
