WJIV (101.9 FM "Victory 101.9") is a commercial radio station licensed to Cherry Valley, New York, and serving the Mohawk Valley. The radio format is primarily Christian talk and teaching, along with some Southern gospel music. WJIV is a brokered time station, with national and local religious leaders paying for time on the station, which allows them to seek donations to their ministries.

WJIV has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 11,500 watts. The transmitter is about 3 miles (5 km) east of Cherry Valley village.[2] The signal gives secondary coverage to Capital District, including Albany and Schenectady, as well as Oneonta and Utica/Rome.
