WCCV FM 91.7 ("The Message") is a Christian radio station licensed to serve the city of Cartersville, Georgia. The station plays Contemporary Christian music.

The station transmits from Mullinax Mountain, between Euharlee and Wax, Georgia, due west of Cartersville and southeast of Rome (which is slightly closer), the same location for which WTSH-FM 107.1 applied to move to in early May 2012. Although very close to WCLK FM 91.9 in Atlanta, it can still be heard in parts of northwest and south metro Atlanta via broadcast translators.

WCCV is also simulcast on sister station WJCK 88.3, licensed to Piedmont, Alabama. That station had no translators assigned to it until 2010, when W257CM FM 99.3 was licensed to the northeast of Talladega, Alabama. That translator is now assigned to WRYD FM 97.7 in the Birmingham, Alabama area.

In March 2019, the station and network re-launched as The Message For You, www.themessage.fm with a larger focus on Contemporary Christian music programming.[2][3]
