WMGV (103.3 FM, "Magic 103.3/95.5") is an adult contemporary music formatted radio station licensed to serve Newport, North Carolina. The station serves Eastern North Carolina with a mix of music from the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and today.
History
WMGV has been on the air since the early 1980s. Over the years it has been known as "V103.3", "Classy 103.3, "Kat 103.3", and, back in the 1980s, "Z103"[citation needed].
In 1989, Henry Hinton started New East Communications of Greenville, North Carolina. The company's stations were WKQT, WCZI, and WGPM. WKQT was sold in 1996.[2]
On February 2, 2017, Beasley Media Group announced that it would sell its six stations and four translators in the Greenville-New Bern-Jacksonville, North Carolina market, including WMGV, to Curtis Media Group for $11 million to reduce the company's debt.[3] The sale was completed on May 1, 2017.[4]
On October 24, 2022, the station reverted back to adult contemporary as "Magic 103.3/95.5" (reflecting the addition of a simulcast on translator 95.5 W238CF in Jacksonville), a move that followed sister station WMJV taking on the station's previous hot adult contemporary format the previous week. Delilah was added in evenings, but the "V" airstaff was otherwise retained.[5]
