VPR Classical, Vermont Public Radio’s 24-hour classical music network, is now available in Waterbury, Stowe, Morrisville and Hyde Park at 96.5 FM.
The new station reaches a population of more than 16,000 and is broadcasting from the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe.
The signal is only 250 watts, but its location and elevation give it a fairly broad reach.
In 2014, Vermont Public Ratio got a permit from the Federal Communications Commission to build a translator to serve Waterbury. After an engineering study, VPR asked the FCC for approval to relocate the translator to Stowe while still meeting the requirement to cover Waterbury. The FCC granted the request in November.
Trapp Family Lodge is allowing VPR use of the site in exchange for underwriting in lieu of rent.
“It has been a longtime dream of ours to bring VPR Classical to listeners in this part of Vermont,” said Robin Turnau, president of Vermont Public Radio. “We know our listeners appreciate the value classical music adds to their lives, as well as to the community at large. We are grateful to the Trapp Family Lodge for collaborating with us to provide this important public service.”
VPR Classical can be heard on 18 stations throughout Vermont, as well as on HD radio, vpr.net and mobile devices.
Nominations are open for the annual 4393 Awards, a reader survey sponsored by the Stowe Reporter and News & Citizen to honor the best in our area. This nomination period is your chance to write in names, so if you (or your favorite business) want to be on the list of finalists, spread the word. Nominations are open through April 25.
