It's not a done deal yet, but WOOL-FM is poised to move to a new spot on the radio dial.
Gary Smith, WOOL-FM board member, confirmed that the low-power, nonprofit radio station is a selectee - pending final approval from the Federal Communications Commission - for a NEC (new construction) permit for the station's new digs at 91.5 FM.
The new license will give WOOL-FM a broader reach up and down the Connecticut River Valley, but exactly how broad is unknown.
“We have 18 months to get on the air with the new license,” Smith explained. “We've been granted a new low power (LP FM) license which replaces the old license. Once we're up and running, we'll be on the new, more powerful lower frequency.”...

The appraisal by George Sancoucy PE, LLC, commissioned by the state, was completed in June. The dam and its associated facilities were appraised at $108 million, or about $18 million less than was expected. “Your questions are legitimate and you have...
Sexual abuse of minors in Vermont has become a serious issue, and the state is hoping that protection in the form of prevention will provide a framework for educators and early-child-care providers to help safeguard pupils from pre-kindergarden through secondary school. Act 1, passed by the Vermont Legislature last year, places emphasis on education, requiring schools and licensed day care centers to teach about sexual abuse to children with an age-appropriate health curriculum beginning in preschool. But the act has...
Interim Town Manager Francis “Dutch” Walsh is negotiating a contract with wireless communications company New Cellular Wireless PCS, LLC, d.b.a. AT&T Mobility, for 100 Pond Rd., a site located above the Minard's Pond reservoir on a hill to the east and across the Connecticut River from the Fall Mountain cellular and radio tower. Walsh said the Village of Bellows Falls Corporation, whom he represents, has been in negotiations with AT&T for about four or five months to rent the site.
Recent changes to the Vermont liquor control laws have made it easier for small distillers to market and sell their products. Labyrinthian permitting and selling restrictions in the law made it dauntingly complicated for specialty houses to reach their public before the simplification of Sec. 1, VSA 2 went on the books in the last legislative session. Act 102 was passed and signed in May of this year. The biggest changes, distillers say, is that they are now allowed to...
Michael Bruno's new business plan - to fill the former Sam's Outdoor Outfitters space with consignment booths catering to a public looking for antique furniture, jewelry, lamps or rugs - has found approval with the town. Bruno successfully requested a $50,000 loan from the Town of Rockingham's revolving loan fund to start renovations on the building - which initially include asbestos removal on some pipes in the basement - and upgrades for public safety which will include a fire suppression...
