WKVT (1490 AM, "1490 WKVT") is a radio station licensed to serve Brattleboro, Vermont. The station is owned by Saga Communications and licensed to Saga Communications of New England, LLC. It airs a mostly progressive talk format.
The station has been assigned the WKVT call letters by the Federal Communications Commission. WKVT is simulcast on W262CL FM 100.3 in Brattleboro.
WKVT is part of a network of progressive talk stations throughout the northeastern Unites States that are owned by Saga Communications (others including WNYY in Ithaca, New York, WHMP in Northampton, Massachusetts, WHNP in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts and WHMQ in Greenfield, Massachusetts); these, in turn, were among the last progressive talk stations still on the air in early 2017. Because of the migration of most progressive talk shows to off-air platforms, Saga announced plans to begin dropping the format in February 2017; WNYY was the first to change, followed by WHNP, with most of the other stations in the network likely to follow.
