WLVO (98.5 MHz) is an FM radio station licensed to San Carlos Park, Florida, and broadcasting to the Fort Myers, Florida media market. WLVO is owned by the Educational Media Foundation and it airs the national "Radio Nueva Vida" (Radio New Life) Spanish Christian radio format. EMF also owns the English-language religious station 88.7 WDLV in Fort Myers.

WLVO broadcasts at 18,500 watts at 113 meters (371 feet) but it currently has a construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission to increase its power to 50,000 watts and increase the height of its antenna slightly to 117 meters (384 feet) to improve its coverage area.[1]

From 2007 to 2014, the station was known as WDEO-FM, airing Catholic-based religious programming branded as "Ave Maria Radio" under the ownership of the Ave Maria Foundation. WDEO-FM aired all Notre Dame Fighting Irish football games in the 2008 season using the ISP Sports feed.[2]

On August 20, 2015 WLVO switched from "K-Love" to EMF's Radio Nueva Vida Spanish Christian format, with 88.7 WDLV taking the K-Love feed.
