WZLF (107.1 FM, "95.3 and 107.1 The Wolf" a simulcast of WXLF Hartford) is a radio station licensed to serve Bellows Falls, Vermont. The station is owned by Binnie Media. It airs a country music format.^[2]

The station has been assigned these call letters by the Federal Communications Commission since March 1, 2005.^[1]

The station signed on in 1981 as Religious WTIJ, and was sold in 1983 to local residents Brad and Evelyn Weeks who flipped it to Country as WBFL. On January 1, 1990 it flipped again to Classic Rock as "B-107". That format, despite ratings success, was not profitable and ended 2 years later. The station struggled into the mid 90's with a AAA format, then a simulcast of WSSH, Marlboro, VT as WZSH until 1996 under new owner Dynacom. That was followed by Country simulcasting under Dynacom and Vox, then Nassau Broadcasting Partners.

WZLF, along with 16 other Nassau stations in northern New England, was purchased at bankruptcy auction by WBIN Media Company, a company controlled by Bill Binnie, on May 22, 2012. Binnie already owns WBIN-TV in Derry, New Hampshire.^[3]^[4] The deal was completed on November 30, 2012.^[5]
