WZBG (97.3 FM) is a radio station broadcasting an adult contemporary format. Licensed to Litchfield, Connecticut, United States, it serves the Litchfield area. The station is owned by Local Girls And Boys Broadcasting Corporation.
History
The allocation for a new station on 97.3 FM was moved from New Paltz, New York, to Litchfield in 1984. A group of local residents, led by NBC Sports president Dick Ebersol and actress Susan Saint James[2] and also including Virginia and Michael Mortara,[3] received a construction permit to build the station in May 1991, beating out nine competing applicants. WZBG signed on July 8, 1992;[4] much of its programming was sourced from Denver–based Jones Satellite Audio, though the station also offered local news coverage,[2] as well as "Betty at the Beehive", a program that Saint James hosted under the pseudonym Betty Aster.[5]
On December 6, 2023, Local Girls & Boys Broadcasting announced that WZBG had been put up for sale, with the intent of announcing a buyer in early 2024. Managing partner Virginia Mortara said that the station had been profitable for all but two years of its existence, and that it was time to sell WZBG to "new and exciting ownership to move the station forward to its next chapter of its success".[3] On February 9, 2024, the company announced that the station would be acquired by John Fuller’s Red Wolf Broadcasting Corporation (which does business as Full Power Radio), adding WZBG to a regional group that already included WSNG in nearby Torrington.[6]
