WTSV (1230 AM; "94.5 ESPN Radio") is a radio station broadcasting a sports/talk format, simulcasting WTSL (1400 AM). Licensed to Claremont, New Hampshire, USA, the station serves the Lebanon-Rutland-White River Junction area. The station is currently owned by Jeffrey Shapiro's Great Eastern Radio.[1]
The station's call letters stand for Twin State Valley, as the station serves the Connecticut River Valley of New Hampshire and Vermont. It was built by the original owners of WKBR in Manchester as part of a chain of "Twin State Network" stations, which also included WTSL in Hanover, WTSA in Brattleboro, and WTSN in Dover.
WTSV, along with 29 other stations in northern New England formerly owned by Nassau Broadcasting Partners, was purchased at bankruptcy auction by Carlisle Capital Corporation, a company controlled by Bill Binnie (owner of WBIN-TV in Derry), on May 22, 2012. The station, and 12 of the other stations, were then acquired by Vertical Capital Partners, controlled by Jeff Shapiro; this reunited WTSV with WTSL, which is owned by Shapiro's Great Eastern Radio.[2][3] After the sale's completion on November 30, 2012, WTSV dropped its sports radio format from ESPN Radio and began simulcasting WTSL.[4] The Vertical Capital Partners stations were transferred to Great Eastern Radio on January 1, 2013.[5][6]
