WKDV is a Regional Mexican formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Chantilly, Virginia, serving Northern Virginia. WKDV is owned and operated by Metro Radio, Inc.
The station was silent for most of the period from December 2020 to March 2022, after the 11-acre site in Manassas which had hosted the broadcast towers since the 1960s was sold. It has since moved to a new tower in Fair Lakes, Virginia.
In the 1990s, the station was a Radio AAHS affiliate, which played children's music.
In addition to the main station, WKDV is relayed by an FM translator to widen its broadcast area.
