WODY (1160 kHz) is a non-commercial radio station licensed to Fieldale, Virginia, serving Martinsville and Henry County, Virginia. WODY is owned and operated by Positive Alternative Radio, Inc.[2] It simulcasts a Southern Gospel radio format from WXRI Winston-Salem, North Carolina, as part of the Joy FM network. It formerly aired programming from ESPN Radio before being bought by Positive Alternative Radio. The network is listener-supported, with the stations holding on-air fundraisers to support the Joy FM ministry.
By day, WODY is powered at 5,000 watts non-directional. But because it broadcasts on the United States clear-channel frequency of 1160 AM, reserved for KSL in Salt Lake City, WODY must reduce power at night to only 250 watts and use a directional antenna to avoid interference.[3] Programming is also heard on FM translator W264CM at 100.7 MHz in Martinsville, Virginia.
