Maine, in general, has too many radio stations.  The flood of new licenses
given out in the 1980s added a number of stations which were never
economically viable.  If it was not for the 1996 Telecommunications Act and
the resulting consolidation of the industry, I think a number of the more
marginal signals would now be dark.
