Maine Radio Online: Stations Streaming Live

Published 28 September 2026

You can listen to Maine radio online in any browser, with no download and no account: open 72FM, search for a station's name, and press play. Maine streams its statewide public broadcaster, Downeast community radio, college stations and a shortwave station at the top of the state.

Public radio

• Maine Public — NPR news, with a classical stream from Portland, the most-voted Maine station in the directory.
• WERU Community Radio — independent news and diverse music from Downeast Maine.

College

• WHSN 89.3 — Husson University's alternative rock station in Bangor.
• WMHB 89.7 — Colby College's freeform station.
• Bates College Radio — student radio from Lewiston.

Music and shortwave

• Star 97.7 — classic hits from Winter Harbor.
• WKIT 100.3 — rock from Bangor.
• WBCQ The Planet — shortwave from Monticello, near the Canadian border.

The sound of the state

Maine's towns are far apart, so public and community radio carry a lot of local news and weather, and WBCQ's shortwave signal reaches far beyond the state. Boston radio, shortwave radio and classical radio go further.

Listening from elsewhere

Maine keeps Eastern time — five hours behind UTC in winter and four in summer.

A route in

1. Maine Public, for news and classical.
2. WERU, for community radio.
3. WHSN, for college rock.

Down the coast, Boston radio online is next.
