Bittner sells WJYE-Gardner Me...."to be customized programmed remotely".

Bob Bittner sells 1280AM in Gardner, Maine.

https://radioinsight.com/headlines/179278/fun-oldies-debuts-in-central-maine/

Interesting point in the article is: "..to feature customized remote programming".

Now with FTP and the internet, this appears to be something done more and more, no?

I get the impression Valley-98.9 (WMXV) in Salem NH is doing something similar. valley989.com

A station that sounds better than it should ;-) and I assume someone is consulting it, and programming it remotely.

Anyone shed some light on "customized remote programming"?

delete, wrong thread commented on
 
Was WJYE once WKME (back in the '70s)....??
IIRC.....They were an AM/FM facility, running Drake-Chennault's "Hit Parade" format...ID'ing as "WKME/WKME-FM, Gardner/Augusta....."
 
Wikipedia on WJYE:
" The station first signed on the air on September 1, 1968.Its original call sign was WABK, owned by Abenaki Company. The station had a middle of the road format by 1971.It later moved to a full service adult contemporary sound. An FM sister station, WKME 104.3 FM, was added in 1974.
Two years later, WABK shifted to a Talk/MOR format. In 1977, the station was sold to Tryon Communications, and talk programming was dropped

The entry on WABK FM 104.3:
"WABK first signed on as an AM station, in the fall of 1968.[4] It aired an adult leaning Top 40 format on 1280 kHz (today WJYE). WABK-FM signed on during the summer of 1974 with the call letters WKME and featured Drake-Chenault's automated "Hit Parade" format. In February 1978, the original studios in Farmingdale were destroyed by fire.

"As the stations rebuilt, WKME's call sign was changed to WABK-FM. Both the AM and FM stations began simulcasting an up-tempo full service adult contemporary format with an emphasis on local personalities, news and community involvement. The simulcast ended in 1983 when WABK 1280 changed its format to country music. "
 
Thanx, raccoonradio.....I NEVER think to use Wikipedia.......Guess I need to catch up with the rest of the world....!:)
