Have you listened to Bangor's favorite morning show yet? Every Monday-Thursday from 7-9AM ET, my co-host Pete "The Jet" Christopher and I host Drive Time with Benny and the Jet on WMEB 91.9 FM in Bangor, Maine.
Drive Time broadcasts out of WMEB's Memorial Union Building studios in Orono to the greater Bangor area. Later this month, WMEB will finish an expansion to 10,000 watts–giving the show a much wider audience–a 75-mile radius.
In addition to the latest news and analysis, Drive Time talks with politicians, celebrities, musicians athletes–you name it. This fall, we've had the opportunity to speak with names like Congressman Mike Michaud (ME-02), Lou Bega (Mambo #5!), Down East Magazine's Mike Tipping, and gubernatorial candidates Rosa Scarcelli, Sen. Peter Mills, Bruce Poliquin, Matt Jacobson, Eliot Cutler, and Alex Hammer. Every Wednesday, we get the latest lowdown on Maine Politics from UMaine grad Matthew Gagnon of Pine Tree Politics.
Drive Time is simulcast each morning on our awesome new website, www.DriveTimeBangor.com. There you can learn more about our five-member cast and crew, and listen to our most popular interviews and show clips. I sincerely hope you'll make Drive Time a part of your morning.
We're off for UMaine's fall break–but will return Wednesday, October 14 at 7AM with The Wiyos, fresh off of their tour with Bob Dylan, and Matthew Gagnon of Pine Tree Politics will stop by to update us on a new factor in the GOP gubernatorial primary.
