SANFORD — A new radio station – billing itself as “AM 1220 The Legends” – is on the air in Sanford and York County.
The AM station was formerly owned by FNX Broadcasting in Boston, which used the station to simulcast the programming of its Boston rock station, WFNX. The new owners of the station – Port Broadcasting – also air the “Legends” format on WNPB, an AM station in Newburyport, Mass.
A press release sent out by Port Broadcasting today said the new Sanford station – which is currently on the air with its new format – described the “Legends” format as mixing 1950s and 60s oldies with standards from the likes of Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra, as well more contemporary artists including James Taylor and Neil Diamond.
Port Broadcasting managers also plan to air local sports and lots of event listings and community announcements. The new owners said they encourage civic and nonprofit organizations in the area to send community announcements to info@1220thelegends.com.
