WVNR (1340 AM) was a radio station licensed to serve Poultney, Vermont. The station was owned by Loud Media. It aired a classic country music format.[1] WVNR and its FM counterpart, 94.1 WNYV in Whitehall, New York, were simulcast 100% of the time.
History
The WVNR call sign was assigned by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on February 5, 1981.[2] The station went on the air August 1, 1981, under the ownership of Vermont–NY Broadcasting, a partnership of Norval Ramson, Richard Ramson, and Donald Prescott. WVNR was acquired by John Colagrande and Burton Barlow on September 7, 1982, with Michael Tatko taking a stake in the station in November 1984. Michael and Barbara Leech's Pine Tree Broadcasting Company took over the station on March 10, 1986.[3] In November 1988, Pine Tree Broadcasting obtained the construction permit for an FM radio station in Whitehall, New York, to be operated in conjunction with WVNR;[3] the new station, WNYV, went on the air in 1990.
On May 5, 2020, it was announced that WVNR and WNYV had been sold to Loud Media; at the time of the sale, the simulcast featured a classic hits format branded as "Lakes Region Radio".[4] On July 25, 2020, Loud Media rebranded the stations as "K94.1", playing classic country.[5] The new format and branding replicated its sister station in Nunn, Colorado, K96.9 KYAP.
WVNR left the air July 1, 2022.[6] On June 20, 2023, Loud Media surrendered the licenses for WVNR and translator W242DF after selling the tower and land in 2022.[7] The FCC cancelled the licenses on June 21, 2023.[8]
