WADV (940 AM) is a radio station licensed to Lebanon, Pennsylvania, United States. The station is currently owned by the Kochel family under holding company Wadv Radio, Inc.[1][2] It went silent on December 5, 2019 due to problems with the transmitter.[3] After notifying the FCC in February 2020 of the shutdown (citing a transmitter failure), the Kochels ceased responding to inquiries about the station.[4] As of January 2021, WADV resumed broadcasting after replacing their transmitter.[5]
