WZZM (channel 27) is a television station in Burlington, Vermont, serving the Upstate New York's North Country and Northern Vermont's Champlain Valley as an affiliate of YesNet. The station is owned by the Berfield/Willis Broadcast Corporation.
== History ==
WSHC-TV was launched on April 9, 1980 by Metromedia as an independent station. After 6 years, Metromedia sold WFBV to Fox Television Stations. WSHC became the highest rated independent station in Vermont by 1981, beating WKAW in the ratings.
In 1986, NewsCorp, owned by Rupert Murdoch, bought Metromedia and all the stations that were owned by Metromedia became the nucleus for the Fox Broadcasting network in 1986. NewsCorp then changed the call letters of the station to WFBV. Struggling as a Fox affiliate, once they got the NFL from CBS, WFBV saw their ratings take off and by 2010, they were the best station in the market.
In 2013, WFBV saw their ratings slip a little, but just enough for WKAW to retake the number 1 station in the market. Since then, they traded spots with WKAW for the top spot in the market.
In January 20, 2016, WFBV would become a charter member of the Krueger Television Network (KTV) and changed their call letters to WZZM.
On April 1, 2017, WZZM was sold to Berfield/Willis Broadcast Corporation and became the YesNet affiliated station for the Champlain Valley following the closure of KTV.
