WMOO (92.1 FM) (also known as "Moo 92") is a hot adult contemporary formatted radio station broadcasting from Derby Center, Vermont, USA. It is owned by Vermont Broadcast Associates, Inc. The station's main transmitter is near the intersection of Hidden Pines Drive and Nelson Hill Road in the town of Derby, approximately 1.5 mi (2 km) south of the border with Quebec, Canada, allowing a city-grade signal as far north as Magog and a coverage area extending to north of Sherbrooke. It is rebroadcast on W257AU 99.3 in St. Johnsbury.[1]
The station broadcasts a weekday morning program The Moo 92 Wake Up Crew. The show is sometimes broadcast from local nursing homes, food shelves, and local fire departments.
WMOO, along with 29 other Nassau Broadcasting Partners stations in northern New England, was purchased at bankruptcy auction by Carlisle Capital Corporation, a company controlled by Bill Binnie (owner of WBIN-TV in Derry, New Hampshire), on May 22, 2012. The station, and 12 of the other stations, were then acquired by Vertical Capital Partners, controlled by Jeff Shapiro.[2][3] Soon after taking over, Vertical resold WMOO and WIKE to Vermont Broadcast Associates.[4]
The sale of WMOO and the other 12 stations was consummated on November 30, 2012, at a purchase price of $4.4 million.[citation needed] The resale of WMOO and WIKE was consummated on January 1, 2013, at a purchase price of $760,000.[citation needed]
