WRVD is an FM belongs to the State University of New York. See here: http://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/finder?call=WRVD&band=Both&freq=&freq_exact=Yes&city=&state=&country=&format=&owner_search=starts&owner=&scope=&count=20&is_lic=Y&is_cp=Y&is_unl=Y&is_ful=Y&is_lp=Y&sort=Call&sr=1&sid=You can also check US mediumwave callsigns at: http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/audio/amq.html and FM stations at http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/audio/fmq.html
This constitutes unauthorized use of a callsign. It's clear Voix Divine just grabbed it because it matches their name. Further, if they are Part 15 or carrier-current, it may not matter as much, but if they are genuinely radiating, then they may be in for a rough ride if the FCC's enforcement branch decides to move in.
I don't think I need to contact anyone at either station after this.Perhaps a little researching on the web would have yielded the same answers for you? You will not find a WRVD AM listen int he FCC's database anywhere in the United States or its territories. No extra charge for the research lesson, Herr Doktor.
