WSYY (1240 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a sports format. Licensed to Millinocket, Maine, USA, 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. The station currently features programming from CBS Radio and carries CBS Radio News 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. The station also carries local high school sports. WSYY-FM/WSYY-AM are unusual in that while stations are authorized to broadcast 24 hours a day, the stations both have sign-offs every day (WSYY-AM signing off at dusk and WSYY-FM broadcasting for approximately 18¼ hours per day). WSYY-AM broadcasts only on Weekends (but not between Monday-through-Friday).
