Prior to adopting its current format in October 2013,[1] WMBO-LP carried a feed of NASA TV, which it had carried since returning to the air in November 2010.[2]

WVOA-LP's programming consists mostly of brokered religious programming from around the United States, with Salem Radio Network's “The Fish” network filling in unsold gaps. A few secular music programs also air, primarily on weekends.

Despite a similarity in call signs, there is no relation between WVOA-LP and the Voice of America service. The VOA call sign was requested when the station changed to a Classical music format in the late 80's. The WVOA call sign was retained when the station was returned to Christian Broadcasting about 2 years later.
