WVBF 1530 Middleborough Center
W259DD 99.7 Middleborough Center (CP)

In 2013, WVBF initiated a move to relocate transmitter to the old WPEP site in Taunton, which included a signal upgrade.
The site upgrade was completed nicely!


Looking up the two towers off of County St in Taunton. The tower on the right now has a single bay FM on it. See below.



This is the original tower used by WPEP before the upgrade.


Looking at the base of the new second tower.

In 2019, we got back inside to see the site up and running.
