Voice of Vashon finally has a 24/7 radio station on the air. Broadcasting on 1650 AM, VoV Standing By is a low power information service that can be heard right now in central Vashon.

VoV Standing By uses a service called Travellers' Information Service, similar to to the radio you can hear when going over Snoqualmie Pass. Intended to keep you up to date as you go through a community, this service will be used to inform Islanders about current events. In times of emergency, this may prove crucial as other methods of communication become unavailable.

Right now VoV Standing By can be heard on much of Vashon and parts of Maury, with the signal getting clearer as you get closer to the transmitter up behind Granny's Attic. In the future, more transmitters will be installed North of Vashon town and on Maury Island.

If an emergency happens, be sure to tune to 1650 AM.
