We report the radio detection of supernova 1961v in NGC 1058. SN 1961v has a spectral index of -0.4 ± 0.1. At the distance of NGC 1058, the absolute monochromatic luminosity of this source is comparable to that of Cas A. A second nonthermal source with a spectral index of -0.3 ± 0.1 was also detected in NGC 1058 and is likely to be a remnant of a supernova that was not optically detected. The two radio sources, and two optically faint H II regions that coincide with the radio sources, are separated by only 3.5".
