WVES (101.5 FM) is a broadcast radio station licensed to Chincoteague, Virginia, serving Chincoteague and Accomac in Virginia and Pocomoke City in Maryland.[1] WVES is owned and operated by GSB Broadcasting.[5]

WVES' programming was also heard on the audio feed of "Franken-FM" WOWZ-LP, VHF analog channel 6, a low-power television station in the market. This could also be heard on an FM radio tuned to 87.7 MHz, since the audio portion of the analog signal lied at 87.75 MHz.[6] WOWZ is currently silent with a permit to switch to digital.

The two stations run an adult hits format branded as "96.5 & 101.5 CTG".
