The Point (radio network)
The Point is a radio network operating in the state of Vermont. The station first signed on as a single frequency local Montpelier station in 1977. It was started by Jeb Spaulding who is the current Chancellor of the Vermont State Colleges and former State Treasurer of Vermont and Secretary of Administration under Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin. Although at that time there was no designated Adult Album Alternative format, The Point's programming format has been solidly Adult Album Alternative/Progressive for its entire history.
The Point has won numerous national awards over the course of its history, including trade publication Radio and Records' AAA Station of the Year in 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008, which was the publication's final year of operation. In 2008, The Point was inducted into the trade publication F.M.Q.B.'s Hall Of Fame for AAA Stations in markets 51 and smaller, and in 2013 The Point was named F.M.Q.B.'s AAA Station of the Year.
