WXZO
WXZO (96.7 MHz "MeTV FM") is a commercial FM radio station licensed to Willsboro, New York. Owned by Vox AM/FM, it primarily serves the Champlain Valley, including Burlington, Vermont, and Plattsburgh, New York. Its studios are located in Colchester, Vermont. The station broadcasts a soft oldies radio format using the syndicated music service known as "MeTV FM." In morning drive time, the station carries Intelligence for Your Life with John Tesh. ABC News Radio provides news updates.
WXZO is a Class A station with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 1,000 watts. The transmitter is off Empire State Trail (New York State Route 22) in Willisboro.
The station signed on the air in July 1996. As a construction permit, its call sign was WWGT. Once it began broadcasting, the station changed its call letters to WXPS. The city of license was originally Vergennes, Vermont. WXPS aired an alternative rock format and called itself "The Pulse". Subsequently, it aired a sports radio format along with sister station WEAV (960 AM) in Plattsburgh, New York.
Capstar Broadcasting purchased WXPS in 1998. On December 14, the sports talk format, which by then also incorporated some hot talk programs, was abandoned. The new format was country music and the new moniker was "Kix 96.7".
Around the same time, WXPS moved its city of license and transmitter from Vermont to Willsboro, New York. This move improved the station's signal in Burlington, the largest city in the region. Plans for an FM translator at 97.3 MHz were abandoned and the construction permit canceled two months earlier. The following April, WEAV left the sports talk simulcast and implemented a separate talk format.
In 1999, WXPS changed formats again, this time to smooth jazz. It played mostly instrumental jazz-flavored tracks with some soft R&B vocals.
In April 2001, Clear Channel Communications, which acquired the station after a series of mergers, migrated the smooth jazz format to sister station WLCQ (92.1 FM; now classic hits WVTK). Upon the completion of this move, WXPS resumed simulcasting with WEAV, this time airing its talk format under the "Zone" branding. It switched its call letters to WXZO.
Clear Channel announced on November 16, 2006, that it would sell its Champlain Valley stations after the company was bought by several private equity firms. This prompted a sale to Vox Communications in 2008.
