(December 2009)The station was granted the call letters WVZP on September 2, 1992, but initiated broadcasting as WADQ (for "Adirondack"), and then for a period with a Classical Music format as WMEX, "Where classic call letters mean great Classical Music." In the late 90s, WMEX gradually morphed into Burlington's Album Station, adopting the present call letters in Feb 1999 when owner Dennis Jackson relinquished the historic "WMEX" call letters to Boston's 1060 AM. The WMEX calls subsequently moved to New Hampshire and, more recently, to Martha's Vineyard.[citation needed]The licensee chose the WCLX call letters from a Dataworld printout of unused call letters upon discovering that they had been dropped by a station in Boyne City, Michigan. In Boston, one of the first FM stations to adopt a "classic rock" format in the 80s wanted to use the call letters "WCLX" for their new format, but because they were in use in MI at the time, they chose "WZLX" instead.[citation needed]From 1999 to September 2009, WCLX featured a Free-form FM Classic Album Rock format known as "The Album Station", programmed by husband and wife team Diane Desmond and Russ Kinsley. During its tenure, WCLX focused on modern-day blues-influenced and progressive rock bands of the 1960s-1980s. The station's format was discontinued due to a dispute between its owner, Dennis Jackson, and its programmers. On September 9, 2009, Jackson terminated WCLX programming at 5:00 PM later stating "[that while] Russ and Diane worked for ten years to make it a commercial success...it could not be sustained." Jackson considered other options for the frequency, including the sale of the license.Today, WCLX is known as Farm Fresh 102.9 FM, programmed by Chip and Kathy Morgan who also created the local low power station WMUD-LP 89.3 FM broadcasting from Moriah, NY into central Vermont.[citation needed]
