A Rich History of Broadcasting

Founded by Geoffrey Stirling, the station initially served as a lifeline for remote communities, providing essential news and communication during a challenging era. Its early broadcasts were often the only connection many Newfoundlanders had to the outside world. This legacy of service continues to define VOCM today.
