In October 2025 I received WSKW from Skowhegan on 1160 AM. My report via their website remained unanswered. Thanks to a tip from Arild’s DX diary I got a lead to Mrs. Gracie Johnston from Mix Maine Media. She was so kind to confirm my report:
WSKW is not an easy catch. I received this station quite early for TA DX when they were most likely still broadcasting with 10 kW. Night time operation is 730 Watts only to avoid interference with “Class A station” KSL from Salt Lake City, which makes reception a challenge.
The audioclip above is my reception of sports talk and at 33 seconds: “Coast to Coast Infinity Sports Network”. This is brand they go by since 2022 when WSKW dropped the oldies and talk programming and returned to sports, branded as “1160 The Score”. As you can see in Mrs. Dellandrea’s reply, high school sports coverage is retained, with the remainder of the station’s programming being supplied by CBS Sports Radio (now Infinity Sports Network).
Below you see the old brand when they were still on a mix of oldies and sports. I don’t mind the new brand, but I wish they had retained the WSKW call sign in their logo.
