WVXR (102.1 FM) is a radio station licensed to serve Randolph, Vermont. The station is owned by Vermont Public. It is a classical music station, serving as the central Vermont outlet for Vermont Public Classical.[1][2]
History
The station signed on October 25, 1982 as WCVR-FM.[3] Originally owned by Stokes Communications and broadcasting at 102.3, the station carried a country music format, at times simulcast on sister AM station WCVR/WWWT.[3][4][5] It moved to 102.1 in the early 1990s.
Stokes sold WCVR-FM and WWWT to Excalibur Media in 1999;[5] Excalibur, in turn, was sold to Clear Channel Communications the following year.[6] Clear Channel dropped the country format on January 23, 2003, replacing it with a simulcast of classic rock station WCPV from the Champlain Valley.[7]
In January 2008, Clear Channel agreed to sell its Vermont stations to Vox Communications[8] as part of Clear Channel's plan to divest itself of most of its smaller market radio stations. The sale was completed on July 25, 2008.[9] Vox soon concluded that it had no interest in retaining WCVR-FM and what had become WTSJ, and reached a deal to sell the stations to Great Eastern Radio in September 2008.[1] Great Eastern replaced the WCPV simulcast with a separate classic rock format.[10] However, it never closed on the deal, and a year later Vox retook the station.[1]
In March 2010, another deal to sell WCVR-FM, this time to Vermont Public Radio (VPR), was reached;[11] Vox then shut the station down on April 1 for financial reasons.[12] VPR returned the station to the air July 30[13] as WVXR,[14] carrying the VPR Classical service.[1][2]
