WJEN 105.3 FM

A commercial FM station licensed to Killington, Vermont, broadcasting to the Rutland and southern Vermont region under the brand "105.3 Cat Country" with a country music format. Owned by Pamal Broadcasting, the station operates from studios and offices on Dorr Drive in Rutland, while its transmitter is located on Pico Mountain in Killington. Despite a modest effective radiated power of 1,250 watts, the transmitter's elevation of 683 meters above average terrain qualifies it as a Class C2 station with an extensive coverage footprint. The station was constructed under the call sign WEBK, signing on August 4, 1993 with a mainstream rock format as "K105" under Killington Broadcasting. By 1998 it was rebranded as "The Mountain" while retaining the rock orientation. Pamal Broadcasting acquired the station in January 2001 for $1.65 million. On October 31, 2003, the format shifted to adult album alternative as "105.3 The Peak; World Class Rock," featuring artists such as The Grateful Dead, Phish, and U2 with a programming lean toward alternative music. Subsequent years saw host and format adjustments before the station eventually transitioned to its current country music positioning. The station's website includes entertainment blog content covering film and cinema in addition to music-related programming.
