WWLR is a campus radio station broadcasting a student run format. Licensed to Lyndonville, Vermont, United States, the station is run by students, faculty and staff of Northern Vermont University—Lyndon.

History

WWLR began broadcasting on February 4, 1977, as a 10-watt outlet broadcasting on 91.7 MHz. In 1981, the station moved to 91.5 MHz as part of a power increase to 3,000 watts. However, three years later, the station was almost shut down when teachers complained about electromagnetic radiation, though administration kept it on the air; WWLR had been forced off the air earlier in 1984 in order to rectify interference to the meteorology equipment in the college's atmospheric sciences program. As a result, the WWLR tower was relocated, and the station temporarily operated at half power until the tower was moved.
