WVOM-FM
WVOM-FM (103.9 MHz) is a commercial FM radio station licensed to Howland, Maine, and serving Central and Downeast Maine, including Bangor. It airs a talk radio format and is owned by Maine-based Blueberry Broadcasting which is headed by Louis Vitale and Bruce Biette. WVOM-FM is known as "The Voice of Maine".
The studios and offices are located on Target Industrial Circle in Bangor. The transmitter, powered at 90,000 watts, is on a mountaintop near Burlington. WVOM-FM is simulcast on WVQM (101.3 FM) in Augusta, which extends the station's programming to the capital region.
WVOM-FM airs a local morning drive information and talk program co-hosted by George Hale and Ric Tyler. Syndicated conservative talk shows follow, mostly from Premiere Networks. They include The Glenn Beck Radio Program, The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, The Howie Carr Show, The Sean Hannity Show, Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis and Coast to Coast AM with George Noory. Most hours begin with an update from Fox News Radio.
Local shows on weekends include "Hot and Cold with Tom Gocze". It is WVOM's longest running local program and originated in 1989 on then-talk station WZON. It had been co-hosted by Gocze and Dr. Dick Hill, a mechanical engineering professor at the University of Maine for over 46 years. A TV show was also seen on Maine Public Broadcasting Network, after being carried for many years on WVII/WFVX-LD. Gocze and Hill also wrote columns for the Bangor Daily News. In 2008 Hill scaled back his time on the program and later retired.
Other weekend programming includes The Kim Komando Show, The Car Doctor with Ron Ananian, Senior Talk, Financial Safari, Maine View, The Maine Outdoors, Somewhere in Time with Art Bell, the weekend version of Coast to Coast AM and the repeats of weekday shows.
WRKD AM 1450 started broadcasting in 1952 and is now defunct. Its broadcast tower (now gone) was located between Route 1 North and the Maine State Ferry terminal and (along with the cement plant in Thomaston) was a high visible shore marker.
In the 1970s, WTKD (along with WGAN in Portland & WHDH in Boston) broadcast Red Sox Baseball games.
As AM radio antennas are directional, WRKD's signal was also useful for navigation in fog before we had Radar, LORANS and now GPS.
