WKVM (810 kHz), branded on-air as Radio Paz 810, is a non-commercial AM radio station in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The station is owned by Grupo RTC, under its licensee, Radio Paz/WKVM-AM Trust. It airs a mix of Catholic radio programs along with some non-religious shows.

WKVM is powered at 50,000 watts at all times, the only radio station on Puerto Rico with the maximum power day and night. But because 810 AM is a clear channel frequency, WKVM uses a directional antenna at all times to avoid interference.
