WWSF (1220 AM; "The Legends") is a radio station airing an adult standards format. Licensed to Sanford, Maine, USA. The station is currently owned by Port Broadcasting.[2] The station was silent as its transmitter failed in 2010, but returned to the air in June 2011. WWSF signed on as WSME on November 9, 1957.[1] The call letters were changed to WPHX after being purchased by Phoenix Media/Communications Group in 1999. Its original studio was located on lower School Street in Sanford.
The station was acquired by Port Broadcasting, which also owns WNBP in Newburyport, Massachusetts, in 2012.[3] When the sale was completed, the call letters were changed to WWSF.[4] WWSF's format is identical to that of WNBP, though the two stations are programmed separately.
Port Broadcasting purchased FM translator W272CG and will move it to Sanford to rebroadcast WWSF.
