WBTN-FM
WBTN-FM (94.3 FM) is a radio station licensed to Bennington, Vermont. The station is owned by Vermont Public Radio, and is an affiliate of their News and Information network. The station signed on as WHGC in 1979, airing an Adult Contemporary format. In 1990, the format was flipped to Album Rock, and the station's motto was "The Heart of Rock". In 1995, the format was changed to Top 40 as "The Mix", and the call letters
to add WBTN-FM to its statewide network to improve coverage of Southwestern Vermont. But VPR was not interested in operating an AM station. VPR sold 1370 WBTN to Robert Howe in 2000. 
Howe donated the station to Southern Vermont College in 2002. In 2008, 1370 WBTN was purchased by Shires Media Partnership. A few years later, the Federal Communications Commission granted WBTN permission to broadcast at night with 85 watts of power.
