[ME] Portland Maine Radio station that has more chat

I know most people like less chat, but I have been listening to Positive 89 via Tune In Radio on my Droid.

WGAN doesnt allow streaming

So what other radio station is there that I might tune into that would give more of the local stuff like weather, traffic, events. ETC.

Genres I like are Christian, Country and 70s oldies.

Reason is, I Loved the 8 years in Maine I had at NAS Brunswick (Sad its closed) and kinda like to see whats going on still.

BTW I was a weekend DJ on WAYU 93.1 in Lewiston for a year till a new station manager took over and didn't like a Military guy on there.

Thanks, Tune In has the same list.

I was just looking for locals that might tell me in the genre I like which would have more chat on local stuff.

I have many forums. Take a look at my profile page. They figured I could handle DKat and vax and cape.

I also live in Northern California - San Francisco East Bay to be exact - Northern California is part of the Extended Pacifc Northwest. In fact I have lived here longer than I lived in Putnam, CT. I left there at 18 when I joined the Marines.

I know.

The last time I was there was a year ago January when my dad passed. Don't think I'll be back there again. The house finally sold last month so all ties are gone from Putnam.

Thats pretty good, its better than Ive found so far.
Ive listened to quite a few and most have very little talk.

The sports channels and the news/talk radios have all appeared to have gone to National feeds which I can get here.

Cest la Vie,

Was hoping to find a mainer that listens in and let me know what ones have local talk.

Guess not .

Basically Sash
I kinda miss Maine with all the hubub that goes around here in the Seattle area.

I have a program on my Droid called Tune-in that allows me to listen to any streaming radio station from anywhere in the world (they have 1000s all over the world in any language).

So, I was trying to find a station in Maine, a state I spent almost 8 years in, that did more local talk and weather than what I can find so far listening. Most are continuous music now and any talk I found was all National Feeds.

I thought maybe a local could get me into a local station that had a bit more talking about local things, traffic (well whats there, used to be a traffic jam in Brunswick was 6 cars at the light) and weather. Just to get the feeling I was back there again.

WBLM (the blimp) is one I used to listen to but its become a really crappy station. The two Country and 1 Christian I found were just music all the time (well during when I can listen).

So that's it in a nutshell hehehe.

I am in Maine but you haven't heard much from me because I don't think I am able to help.

I don't listen to the radio much any more. Most of the music I listen too is from iPod/iPhone or Sirius satellite. All the commercials on radio now, make me nuts. Play two songs, a little DJ chatter, and 4 minutes of commercials. Repeat. TV is just as annoying and I download from iTunes TV any shows I want to see, MINUS the adverting.

That all said. Most of the radio stations around here are now nationally fed anyway. There are exceptions, that some stations will do a "morning jam" locally, or special live broadcasts.

Two stations that come to mind is 98.9 WCLZ »www.989wclz.com/ and 104.3 WABK (No web site but is in the works? »www.wabkfm.com/) are the two stations I do listen to IF I happen to have a radio on. Both are pretty good (especially 98.9) with local shenanigans. You said you already found a couple of local AM stations but I cant speak for AM at all.

Other then that, I can't help much. Or perhaps I too, am completely missing what you are after.

WCLZ is a rather unique genre that takes a little getting used to. I believe you would like WABK if you find it streaming someplace. It is an "Oldies" station.

Tried it, yes a little tough on this old guy. WABK doesn't stream anywhere, but Oldies would be nice. Ive been listening more to 89.3 WMSJ and WHOM. Also country 99.9 the Wolf. But a lot sure have 2 or 3 hour music. If you ever get the chance listen to KIRO FM 93.7 from 9 to Noon your time. Its Newstalk and that is more what I was looking for. Local news and information

Look for Seattles Morning News Listen Live link.

I'm on an island in the Bay between SF and Oakland. My last duty station was TI; before that Barstow.

I am finding the older I get the smaller the world get. It's way small now.

Nope, not Yerba Buena. Closer to Oakland. TI has been closed for years so as far as I know no military there now.

I was discharged May 1971 after 3 years. If you look in the EPN photo album - you will see me coming out of the gas chamber on TI.
