WSYY-FM (94.9 FM) is a radio station broadcasting an Adult Hits/Full-Service format (from 5:00AM through 11:15PM ET). Playing a mix of Classic Rock, Oldies, Contemporary and Today's Hot New Country, the station broadcasts for approximately 18¼ hours per day. The Mountain 94.9 also carries the complete schedule of Red Sox Baseball and local high school sports in season. Licensed to Millinocket, Maine, USA, the station's broadcast signal serves the Central Penobscot County, Eastern Piscataquis County and Southern Aroostook County Maine areas, and the station is licensed to service the town of Millinocket, Maine, the very town where its Studios/Offices and Transmitter Tower Site are all located within. The station is currently owned by Katahdin Communications, Inc. and features programing from CBS Radio.^[1] WSYY-FM originally went on the air in 1978 on 97.7 FM as WKTR, upgrading to its current facilities in 1984 on 94.9. It's an affiliate of the Floydian Slip syndicated Pink Floyd program, one of the two Maine affiliates—apart from WLOB—of When Radio Was (7 days a week from 10:00PM through 11:00PM ET), and is Maine's only affiliate of the Crook & Chase syndicated country music countdown programming (Sunday afternoons from 2:00PM through 6:00PM ET). WSYY-FM/WSYY-AM are unusual in that while these stations are authorized to broadcast 24 hours a day, the stations both have sign-offs every day (WSYY-AM signing off at sun-down and WSYY-FM broadcasting for approximately 18¼ hours per day, WSYY-FM's broadcast day concluding with the 11:00PM ET Top-of-the-Hour CBS Radio newscast and then a Nightly Sign-Off Announcement, followed by Dead Air amidst a Transmitter Power-Down, not Signing Back Onto The Air until 5:00AM ET).
