WTME
WTME is a radio station in Rumford, Maine. The station is owned by Gleason Radio Group and licensed to Mountain Valley Broadcasting, Inc. The station is silent; it most recently aired a sports radio format, as well as Portland Pirates American League hockey, and Portland Sea Dogs Eastern League baseball. On weekday mornings and middays, some Christian talk and teaching programs were also heard.
The station was assigned the WTME call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on July 11, 2001.
WTME's programming was previously simulcast with WCNM in Lewiston and WKTQ in South Paris. WCNM switched to CNN Headline News in July 2001 and is now hot adult contemporary station WEZR, while WKTQ became country music station WOXO in August 2016 and is now WPNO, a simulcast of WEZR.
On March 8, 2017, WTME changed its format to sports, with programming from NBC Sports Radio.
WTME, along with its sister stations, went off the air March 29, 2020, citing financial considerations that included expected reduction in advertising revenue attributed to COVID-19. The stations had been up for sale following the death of owner Dick Gleason in February 2019. A sale of the Gleason Media Group stations to Bennett Radio Group is pending.Previous logo
