The member-supported network is owned by St. Lawrence University (SLU) and is the NPR member for the Adirondack North Country region of northern New York.

[1] In the same year, WSLU moved to 89.5 MHz,[a] and NCPR built the first of several low-powered FM translators.

Its first full-powered repeaters, WSLO in Malone and WSLL in Saranac Lake, began broadcasting in 1989, with additional stations signing on in the early 1990s.

[2] It now comprises 16 full-power FM transmitters and 17 low-powered translators serving the North Country, parts of western Vermont and the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec with regional and national news, public affairs programs, and an eclectic variety of music.

The new signal will cover communities along Route 11 between Malone and Plattsburgh, NY which was previously a dead air zone.
