WVSB (106.3 FM) is a radio station licensed to South Bend, Indiana, United States, and serving the South Bend market. The station is owned by VCY America and airs a Christian format.

History

The station began broadcasting in October 1992, and held the call sign WUBU.[2] It originally aired an urban adult contemporary format.[2] In late 1992, the station was sold by Goodrich Broadcasting to Focus Radio for $300,000.[3][4]

On July 28, 2023, It was announced that WUBU would be sold to VCY America, who filed to change the callsign to WVSB, for $420,000.[5] On September 29, 2023, the station went silent and its online presence was erased with the website redirecting to the website of country-formatted WBYT and its social media pages being deleted. The station returned to the air on November 20, 2023, airing VCY America's Christian radio programming after consummation of the sale.[6]
