VOAR (Voice of Adventist Radio) is a Canadian radio station, which airs religious programming in Mount Pearl, Newfoundland and Labrador on 1210 kHz and various FM frequencies.

The station first broadcast in the fall of 1929. Over the years, the station switched from one AM frequency to another, until VOAR moved to its current frequency, which was approved by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) in 1991.[1] Since 2002 it was broadcasting mainly on FM.[2]

VOAR is one of just four broadcast radio stations (all on Newfoundland) in Canada whose call letters do not begin with C. The others, VOWR, VOCM, and VOCM-FM, are based in St. John's, where VOAR initially was based. With the exception of VOCM-FM, these stations first aired before Newfoundland joined the Canadian Confederation in 1949. The ITU prefix VO was originally assigned to Newfoundland and remains in use by Newfoundland and Labrador radioamateurs.

Rebroadcasters

In 2002, VOAR has added several FM rebroadcast transmitters in various parts of the province.[3] VOAR is also carried across Canada on Bell TV Channel 950.

A broadcasting licence up to 2015 was issued in 2008.[4][5]

In 2008 various transmitters were opened in British Columbia[6][7]
