WNSX (97.7 MHz Star 97.7) is a commercial FM radio station broadcasting a classic hits radio format. The station signed on in 1999 as WNSX. Licensed to Winter Harbor, Maine, the station's studios and offices are on Maine State Route 3 (High Street) in Ellsworth. It serves Downeast Maine, including Ellsworth, Bar Harbor, Bucksport, and Machias.
WNSX is owned by Codin Broadcasting, LLC.[2] WNSX's music format is a mix which includes classic rock artists such as The Eagles, Genesis, Boston, The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Billy Joel and Elton John, but avoids pop artists such as Michael Jackson, Madonna, and Prince. The station uses the slogan "Smooth Rock 'n' Roll" to indicate it does not play rock songs that are too hard-edged.
WNSX's transmitter is off Tunk Lake Road in Sullivan.[3] The station's primary signal serves Hancock and Washington Counties.
