WFST (600 AM) is a radio station in Caribou, Maine. It is owned by Northern Broadcast Ministries, Inc.[3][4] WFST airs a Christian talk and teaching radio format with some Christian music programs. WFST calls itself "Family Radio" on the air, but is not associated with the national Family Radio network, based in Tennessee.

By day, WFST is powered at 5,000 watts non-directional. To protect other stations on 600 AM from interference, at night it reduces power to 127 watts. The transmitter tower is on Sweden Street (Route 181), east of downtown Caribou.[5]
