Awards.
WWKS was chosen as ABC Radio Network's international affiliate of the year for 1999. ABC Radio representatives the station's "commitment to professional broadcasting" and cited "flawless coordination" of two live remote broadcasts of "The Tom Joyner Morning Show" that originated from the Virgin Islands.
Ownership.
GARK LLC, originally a partnership between Gordon Ackley and Randolph Knight, was acquired solely by Gordon Ackley in April 2006 when Ackley bought out Knight's 50% interest for an undisclosed sum. GARK LLC is the licensee of WIVI as well as sister stations WVJZ and WVWI. Local press coverage pegged the sale price "in the neighborhood of $4.3 million" for the three-station combo.
