WKZX (Maine)

[2] The new radio station, owned by ham operators Red Hughes and Bob McIntosh,[3]: 18  had a young staff: its five employees ranged in age from 19 to 27.

[4] The original studios were located on the top floor of the Old Theater Building[3]: 20  and primarily had basic, handmade equipment.

[3]: 33  The power increase improved WAGM's coverage of the "Golden Triangle" of Presque Isle, Caribou, and Fort Fairfield, as well as its ability to attract sales accounts.

[7] WAGM radio was sold for $235,000 in 1981 to Colonial Broadcasting Company, a group of three men with Presque Isle real estate interests.

[9] In assessing the fine, the commission's Mass Media Bureau noted that, while a transfer of control had been applied for in January 1988 (with a sale price of $216,000[10]), WKZX had become financially indistinguishable from CanXus as early as September 1987, CanXus was promoting WKZX as its station in press releases and on stationery, while it was also making programming decisions.
