WVBR-FM (93.5 FM) is a commercial student-owned and volunteer-run college radio station broadcasting to Ithaca, New York, United States and surrounding areas. The station operates at 3 kilowatts from a transmitter on Hungerford Hill in Ithaca. The home page of the station's website, wvbr.com, provides a link for listening to WVBR online.

WVBR purchased, remodeled and relocated to a new studio in Collegetown, located at 604 E. Buffalo Street. A ribbon-cutting event was held on March 15, 2014, where the new building was named the Olbermann-Corneliess Studios, after Keith Olbermann's father, Ted, and his close friend and alumnus, Glenn Corneliess. Prior to 2016, WVBR had a translator on 105.5 FM.
