WSYY (AM)

WSYY (1240 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a sports format. Licensed to Millinocket, Maine, United States, the station serves the Northern and Downeast Maine area, from sun-up to sun-down, broadcasting only on Weekends (but not between Monday-through-Friday). The station is currently owned by Katahdin Broadcasting, Inc.[1] The station currently features programming from CBS Radio and carries CBS News Radio at the top of every hour (and has been an affiliate of that network for many decades), as well as covering University of Maine Black Bears sports.[2][3] The station also carries local high school sports. WSYY-AM-FM are unusual in that while stations are authorized to broadcast 24 hours a day, the stations both have sign-offs every day (WSYY signing off at dusk and WSYY-FM broadcasting for approximately 18⅓ hours per day, 7 days a week (from 4:55AM through 11:15PM ET)). WSYY broadcasts only on Weekends (but not between Monday-through-Friday). WSYY has since fallen silent and might be simulcasting over a new FM translator (on 102.5 MHz) in the future, when it resumes operations.[4]
