VOWR (Voice of Wesley United Church Radio) is a Canadian radio station, which airs religious programming, as well as oldies music, in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. It broadcasts at 800 KHz on the AM band.
The station first broadcasted on July 24, 1924.
VOWR is one of just four broadcast radio stations in Canada whose call letters do not begin with C. The others, VOAR and two VOCM stations, also broadcast in St. John's. All of the stations first aired before Newfoundland joined Canadian Confederation in 1949. The ITU prefix VO was originally assigned to Newfoundland and remains in use by radio amateurs.
