WZON (620 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a classic hits format, with one late afternoon talk show. The station is licensed to Bangor and serves Central Maine.[3]
Along with sister stations 100.3 WKIT and 103.1 WZLO, WZON is owned by The Zone Corporation, the broadcast company owned by authors Tabitha King and her husband, best-selling horror writer Stephen King.[4] WZON operates at 5,000 watts, using a non-directional transmitter by day and a directional pattern at night to protect other stations on 620 kHz. It is one of Maine's oldest radio stations, first signing on the air in 1926. WZON's competitor is cross-town rival WGUY in Veazie.
