WZBK (1220 AM; "Fox Sports Keene") is a radio station licensed to serve Keene, New Hampshire, United States. The station is owned by Saga Communications (through its Monadnock Radio Group) and licensed to Saga Communications of New Hampshire, LLC. It airs a sports radio format supplied by Fox Sports Radio.[3]
The station was assigned the WZBK call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on August 14, 2002.[2] After a decision by the Federal Communications Commission, WZBK began broadcasting at 103.1 FM on its FM translator on May 16, 2008.
In October 2008, WZBK dropped its adult standards format in favor of a simulcast of the news/talk programming of sister station WKVT from Brattleboro, Vermont.[4] In January 2009, the FM simulcast was dropped and replaced by an oldies format branded as "Cool 103.1".
On March 31, 2011, the simulcast of WKVT was replaced by a sports radio format, largely from ESPN Radio with a local afternoon drive show and local sports. In January 2017, the station dropped ESPN Radio for Fox Sports Radio.
