The station was granted the call letters WVZP on September 2, 1992, but initiated broadcasting as WADQ (for "Adirondack"), and then for a period with a Classical Music format as WMEX, "Where classic call letters mean great Classical Music." In the late 90s, WMEX gradually morphed into Burlington's Album Station, adopting the present call letters in Feb 1999 when the historic "WMEX" call letters were relinquished to Boston's 1060 AM. The WMEX calls subsequently moved to New Hampshire and, more recently, to Martha's Vineyard.

The licensee chose the WCLX call letters from a Dataworld printout of unused call letters upon discovering that they had been dropped by a station in Boyne City, Michigan. In Boston, one of the first FM stations to adopt a "classic rock" format in the 80s wanted to use the call letters "WCLX" for their new format, but because they were in use in MI at the time, they chose "WZLX" instead.

Today, WCLX is known as Farm Fresh 102.9 FM, programmed by Chip and Kathy Morgan who also created WMUD-LP 89.3 FM broadcasting from Moriah, NY into central Vermont.
