WXXS is a hot AC/full-service formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Lancaster, New Hampshire, serving northern New Hampshire and the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont.
History[edit]
WXXS has been owned and operated by Barry P. Lunderville since May 1998. WXXS was the first station he purchased. In early 2008, Lunderville founded Radio New England Broadcasting, LLC.[2] In August 1997, a construction permit to build a Class A radio station in Lancaster, New Hampshire was obtained. First signing on in late 1997 as WNHT with an Adult Contemporary/Country Radio Station format at 700 watts, the station soon boosted their power to 1,500 watts. On January 30, 1998 the calls were switched to WXXS.[3] WXXS would later obtain Class C3 status from their previous Class A. Around the time of their power upgrade, WXXS switched from their Adult Contemporary/Country hybrid format for its current hot AC/full-service format. From August 2009 to Summer 2010 WKDR in Berlin simulcasted WXXS. In the Summer of 2010 WKDR became a simulcast of WOTX and currently, WXXS is simulcast on WMOU in Berlin except WXXS does not carry local sports of WMOU and WMOU simulcasts WLTN-FM's morning show.
Translators[edit]
In addition to the main station, WXXS is relayed by several translators.
