Encyclopedia : W : WT : WTV : WTVB


WTVB-AM Radio, AM 1590, is a regional radio station located in Coldwater, Michigan. It carries largely oldies and local news and sports, with the ABC Radio Network as its source for national news. Midwest Communications owns WTVB-AM.

The call letters originally stood for Twin Valley Broadcasting and are in no way connected to any television station, although the station bills itself as "The Voice of Branch County. The "valleys" mentioned (ironically Coldwater is in one of the highest parts of southern Lower Michigan) are apparently the short Coldwater River and the St. Joseph River in south-central Michigan.

WNWN-FM Radio (FM 98.5) "WIN 98" of Coldwater, now a country music station in Coldwater, was originally the FM signal that duplicated WTVB when FM radio was new. Like most AM radio stations, WTVB's signal was drastically weakened at night and endured severe interference during thunderstorms.
