in 1998 the call letters were changed to wwsh . wish was initially a trimulcast of wkxe wwsh wzsh 107.1 fm in bellows falls and wssh 101.5 fm in marlboro . the wssh signal served the brattleboro area and maintained a sales office and fcc legal studio on main street in downtown brattleboro . for a time in 1997 wish programming was added to a fourth station wvay 100.7 fm now wthk in wilmington vermont which subsequently began to simulcast the aaa format of wrsi in greenfield massachusetts as wmtt . in 2001 shortly after vox radio group acquired the wish stations wssh became wrsy simulcasting wrsi serving the same function wvay wmtt had done in bringing its aaa programming to brattleboro before wvay changed to a simulcast of wexp ; the wssh call letters were then moved to the white river junction station . wssh and wzsh subsequently dropped the ac format and went to country and took the bob country handle formerly used by wmxr 93.9 fm now wwod in woodstock and wcfr fm 93.5 fm in springfield now weey in swanzey new hampshire prior to their purchase by clear channel communications owner of competing country station wxxk 100.5 fm . after vox sold wssh and wzsh to nassau broadcasting partners the bob country branding was dropped in favor of the wolf . its signature voice is john willyard voice of the cma awards since 1996 whose signature voice work is heard on many notable country stations across north america . wxlf along with 16 other nassau stations in northern new england was purchased at bankruptcy auction by wbin media company a company controlled by bill binnie on may 22 2012 . binnie already owns wbin tv in derry new hampshire . 3 4 the deal was completed on november 30 2012 . 5 references edit a b call sign history . fcc media bureau cdbs public access database . winter 2008 station information profile . arbitron . carlisle capital corp. wins bidding for rest of nassau stations . all access . may 22 2012 . retrieved may 22 2012 . wbin media acquires 17 n.e. radio stations . new hampshire union leader . may 23 2012 . retrieved may 24 2012 . kitch michael december 1 2012 . binnie closes on purchase of wlnh . laconia daily sun . retrieved december 1 2012 . external links edit official website query the fcc s fm station database for wxlf radio locator information on wxlf query nielsen audio s fm station database for wxlf v t e radio stations in the lebanon new hampshire rutland vermont market by am frequency 1010 1230 1380 1400 1480 1490 by fm frequency 88.1 88.7 89.5 90.5 91.3 91.5 91.7 92.1 92.3 93.9 94.5 94.9 95.3 96.3 96.7 97.1 97.7 98.1 99.3 99.7 100.5 101.3 101.5 102.1 102.7 103.1 103.7 105.3 106.1 106.3 107.1 by callsign wcnl weqx wexp wfrd wftf wfyx wglv wgxl whdq wiuv wjen wjjr wjks wkne wltn fm wmtk wnch wntk fm wool wrjt wrvt wsni wsyb wtsl wtsv wvpr wvtk wvxr wwod wxlf wxxk wykr fm wzlf wzrt defunct radio stations 910 wnhv 970 whwb 1340 wdcr 100.1 wool lp 107.3 wxnd lp vermont radio markets burlington montpelier barre st. johnsbury rutland white river junction other vermont radio regions northeast kingdom new hampshire radio markets concord lakes region lebanon manchester portsmouth dover rochester other new hampshire radio regions northern new hampshire see also list of radio stations in vermont list of radio stations in new hampshire v t e country radio stations in the state of vermont stations wcvr randolph wike newport wjen killington wkxh saint johnsbury wlvb morrisville woko burlington wtnn bristol wwfy berlin wxlf white river junction wzlf bellows falls see also adult contemporary classic hits college country news talk npr oldies religious rock sports top 40 urban other radio stations in vermont retrieved from https en.wikipedia.org w index.php title wxlf & oldid 664866033 categories radio stations in vermontcountry radio stations in the united stateshartford vermontradio stations established in 19691969 establishments in vermont navigation menu personal tools not logged intalkcontributionscreate accountlog in namespaces article talk variants views read edit view history more search navigation main pagecontentsfeatured contentcurrent eventsrandom articledonate to wikipediawikipedia store interaction helpabout wikipediacommunity portalrecent changescontact page tools what links hererelated changesupload filespecial pagespermanent linkpage informationwikidata itemcite this page print export create a bookdownload as pdfprintable version languages add links this page was last modified on 31 may 2015 at 14 36 . text is available under the creative commons attribution sharealike license ;
