WVEE (103.3 FM, "V-103") is an urban contemporary formatted radio station in Atlanta, Georgia. It is one of the highest-rated stations of the Atlanta radio market by Nielsen Audio, reaching number one on many reports. WVEE has Atlanta as its city of license, and is owned by CBS Radio, a subsidiary of the CBS Corporation. Its studio is located in Colony Square in Midtown Atlanta along with its sister stations WAOK and WZGC; The CW-owned television station WUPA is located in a separate facility in DeKalb County.
It shares a tower with WPBA TV 30, and in fact shares the same antenna with WSB-FM/98.5 and WSTR-FM/94.1 operating at an effective radiated power of 100 kilowatts in Midtown Atlanta. The three radio stations' transmitters are diplexed together, so that they all feed to the antenna instead of into each other.
The station that became "V-103" began back in the late 1940s as WAGA-FM, on 102.9 with a country music radio format, but migrated to the 103.3 frequency by 1948. It was originally co-owned by Storer Broadcasting with WAGA/590 (now WDWD) and television station WAGA-TV channel 5, a CBS (now Fox) affiliate.
