    WKDV is a Regional Mexican formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Manassas, Virginia, serving Northern Virginia.[1] WKDV is owned and operated by Metro Radio, Inc.[4]

    The station was silent for most of the period from December 2020 to March 2022, after the 11-acre site in Manassas which had hosted the broadcast towers since the 1960s was sold.[5]
