Did you know that since 2011 Rangeley has its own community radio station, WRGY 90.5 on the FM dial? WRGY is one of only five community radio stations in the entire state of Maine. As such, WRGY is a unique community resource in Rangeley.

That radio tower you see at the top of Saddleback is WRGY’s radio beacon, reaching out for hundreds of square miles throughout the region. The studio is behind that window with the sign on it at the Rangeley Friends of the Performing Arts Theater.

WHAT’S NEW THIS SPRING? The WRGY Board of Directors is making a big effort to ensure that this special resource better reflects and meets the needs of our community, striveing to fulfill that mission through local programming (see our programming schedule on our website, WRGY.org where you can also listen to our broadcast).

•ORIGINAL stories and essays produced and recorded by Rangeley residents.

•LOCAL DJs playing music to suit a variety of tastes.

•ON THE SPOT interviews from Rangeley region festivals and events
