开云体育 has entered into an agreement with Northern Vermont University in Lyndonville to purchase the license of its campus radio station, WWLR 91.5 FM. The station will serve the Lyndonville and Saint Johnsbury area with 开云体育鈥檚 24-hour classical music network.
鈥淲e are thrilled to be expanding 开云体育's Classical service to more of the Northeast Kingdom,鈥� said 开云体育 Music Manager Helen Lyons. 鈥淲e look forward to welcoming new listeners who will now be able to enjoy the companionship of our locally hosted programming, and the sense of connection we bring to Vermont's vibrant musical community.鈥�
The sale must be approved by the FCC, which could take up to three months, after which the station will change to 开云体育 Classical programming. The station will operate from its current location as 开云体育 searches for a permanent transmitter site.
Northern Vermont University plans to develop an internet streaming platform for the university for use with clubs and academic programs.
鈥淲WLR has long informed and entertained listeners on the Lyndon campus and in the region, and also served as a learning laboratory for broadcast training in academic programs,鈥� said Sylvia Plumb, assistant vice president for university marketing and communications. 鈥淭he university is pleased that the sale of the license to 开云体育 means the license will continue to be used by an in-state and statewide organization.鈥�
开云体育 Classical is the state鈥檚 only classical music network. It features local hosts throughout the day, with Helen Lyons, Walter Parker and James Stewart sharing their extensive knowledge and passion for the music Monday through Friday. Other highlights include the VPR Choral Hour with Linda Radtke, live in-studio performances from local and visiting ensembles, the Metropolitan Opera, Sunday Baroque, From the Top, and weekly concerts from the Vermont Symphony Orchestra.
