What is everyone's thoughts on this station? I've gotten the chance to listen to it the past two times on the way that I've made my yearly trip to Montreal, and I think it's great stations like this are still around. From what I understand they are independantly owned and have a network of freq's around VT/NH area (I listened on 104.7). What is everyone's thoughts on this station? I think it's an excellent station.

I believe they are owned by Steven Silverberg who owns a bunch of other stations in the northeast like WXRV in Haverhill, MA.

If you're cruising around VT, three stations that are totally worth turning off the XM are WNCS, "The Point" and WEQX, and 99 the Buzz. Everything else coming out of the ether is pretty irrelevant for music stations

Since the above poster mentioned only "music stations" in his recommendations, for
sheer quirk-e-ness, give a listen to WDEV Waterbury at 550 AM.
(Yeah, I know they broadcast on 2 FM freq's as well, but to get the full effect
you've gotta listen to this station in glorious AM sound.)

I guess I should retract some of my above comments, or clarify my opinion.
I enjoy WNCS "The Point", as I think the station is well presented and compelling to listen to. I've noticed that they are simultcasting all three signals more instead of doing separate legal ID's and promos for each frequency. With three higher powered main signals, and now three translators, those are a lot of freqencies to remember, their midday announcer even had trouble getting them all correct in a break.

WEQX is great, if not to me, better than WNCS, for all the same reasons. Great musical selections, and compelling.

I'm not a country music fan, thus I should not be commenting there.

WXXX (95 Triple X) gets my respect, they've kept it all together and prospered in the face if the large "multinational corporations" that own most of the radio landscape in Burlington. The "Radio Vermont" group, also deserves a lot of respect for their take on the local radio world. Any station that does "Music to go to the Dump By" is alright with me.

Is it me, or has any group with a "classic rock" franchise just doesn't know how to do classic rock properly outside of Burlington. The Nassau "McClassic Rockers" could not be any more boring and predictable to listen to.

WCLX - Way too much CS& N, and even too much solo S. Great signal though for what it is.
