JVC has entered into a definitive agreement with Community Broadcasters LLC to purchase four FM signals in Fort Walton Beach including WECQ, WHWY, WWAV and WZLB.

JVC CEO John Caracciolo said, "We are honored and privileged to welcome WECQ, WHWY, WWAV, and WZLB and its staff to the JVC family. The prior ownership was committed to community service on the Emerald Coast, high quality broadcasting and creating an excellent work environment for its staff, and we will continue that work. We are tremendously impressed with the Fort Walton Beach market and the remarkable growth and resilience of the area even in these unprecedented times."
