WWRV 1330 is a Spanish Christian music and teaching station and serves the New York area. It is owned by Radio Vision Cristiana Management.

For years 1330 was WEVD which ran mostly Jewish programming and owned by the Jewish Forward. By the '60s they also had 97.9 WEVD FM. The AM station shared its frequency with another station, also licensed to New York City, WPOW. In 1981 the Forward sold 1330 to Salem Media. Salem renamed the station WNYM and made it a Christian features station from 6 AM to 4:30 while running foreign language religious shows after 4:30.

In 1983 Salem leased the entire broadcast day except from 6 AM to 9 AM to Radio Vision. The station at that time shifted to its current Spanish Religious format. In 1989 Salem bought 570 WMCA and sold WNYM to Radio Vision. The Spanish Religious format was expanded 24/7 and the station call sign was changed to WWRV to reflect the station's new identity.

WWRV studios are at 419 Broadway in Paterson, NJ and share transmitting towers with WNYM in North Hackensack, NJ.
