November 14, 1984, Alternative radio station 102.7 WEQX-FM made its first broadcast and on November 14, 2024, WEQX will celebrate 40 years of its vast music library, its loyal audience, the power of the medium, and a steadfast commitment to independent ownership.

Founded by VAB Hall of Famer Brooks Brown, this independently owned radio station broadcasts from Manchester, VT at 50,000 watts as well as a transmitter on Mount Equinox. WEQX has a strong, clear signal that reaches into New York, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

“If these walls could talk is a common expression thrown around regarding establishments that have been around for a while. Especially one as unique as EQX,” said EQX’s Program Director, Jeff Morad. “Thankfully, these walls sort of can talk via the DJs that currently grace the studio. And that is what we’ve been doing, reliving the memories while we make new ones. Some stories we’ve heard before, others are just now being told for the first time. It is a lot of fun hearing them all from the listeners and former employees. On the actual anniversary date, November 14th, many of those former DJs are coming back to host an hour or two to share those stories and play music from their era here at EQX. It is going to be a very fun day…Mimi, is our lawyer still on retainer???”, said Morad.

“Music keeps us forever young …never ever stop dancing,” said Mimi Brown, General Manager of EQX, who has been with the radio station since the early 1990’s. Watch their mini documentary here or below:
