 5pm, it won't be with the WWLA calls that sat on the CP for years.
 
 The new calls for "UPN35" will be WPME, according to the Portland 
 Press-Herald -- but so far, the new calls aren't reflected in the FCC
 database.  (WPME was last used as the calls for what's now WXGL (95.5)
 Topsham ME). >>

Their on screen ID is UPN 35 WPME Lewiston.  I find it interesting that they
don't do Lewiston/Portland like many stations not licensed to the major city
in the market.  Also, their station promos all use the same voice as LMA
partner WPXT-FOX 51 and use the same production style, as a result, when
watching the station it seems like FOX 51-2.
