This sounds like an upgrade to their system of micro power FM stations you
could find along major roads, typically at rest areas.
 
It's been about six years since I've been to a Vermont rest area to hear
one. The power was so low by time you got up to highway speed leaving the
rest area, the signal was totally gone. The audio and production quality
was good, though.  The rest area provided a pamphlet with details
including frequencies and locations, but nothing indicating power levels.
