Portland ME Radio: WIGY-FM Goes Jockless


Bennett Radio Group’s Classic Hits station, WIGY 105.5, has decided to part ways with its “Breakfast Club” hosts, Mark Turcotte and Sara Poulin. The station made an announcement on their Facebook page, expressing regret about the decision and thanking listeners for their support over the past four years.

Owner and Program Director Stan Bennett explained that the decision was driven by the challenges faced by small business owners, especially with rising costs of operation. Both Mark Turcotte and Sara Poulin are talented professionals, and their absence will be felt by the community.

The “Breakfast Club” had a unique format that allowed them to promote local businesses, events, and engage with community members. Losing a local radio show like this impacts not only the hosts but also the listeners who considered them part of their daily routine.

As a result of this change, WIGY will now operate without a live host, going jockless.
