WEZF (92.9 FM band, "Star 92.9") is an English-language American radio station located in Burlington, Vermont. The station has an adult contemporary format.

Owned and operated by Clear Channel Communications, it broadcasts with an effective radiated power of 46,000 watts (class C) using an omnidirectional antenna. WEZF is the only full commercial class C radio station in Vermont. The advantage of having both the effective radiated power ERP and a transmitting antenna location on top of Vermont's highest mountaintop, Mount Mansfield, affords WEZF a tremoundous reach throughout Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Quebec, and some parts of western Maine. No other commercial radio station licensed in Vermont has a coverage area as large.

WEZF has usually switched to an all-Christmas music format in the weeks preceding December 25. WEZF went on the air on July 19, 1969 and was originally known as WVNY; that call sign is now used by a local television station previously co-owned and known as WVNY-TV. [http://www.fybush.com/site-020814.html] . WEZF was unique in that the station was originally launched as an offshoot of WVNY-TV, and was never had a companion AM station. This unique situation made WEZF the first stand alone FM station in Vermont. Most FM stations were originally launched by a companion AM station.

WEZF still broadcasts where once WEZF and WNVY-TV originated from in historic Fort Ethan Allen in Colchester, Vermont. WEZF, along with sibbling stations WCPV, WXZO, WEAV, WVTK, WXZO, WCVR, and WTSJ are involved with a pending sale from Clear Channel Communications to locally owned Vox Communications. One of the current principle owners in Vox Communications originally launched both WCPV in late 1994, and after that the radio station now known as WXZO.
