About Star 97.7
Star 97.7 is the hometown radio station for much of coastal Maine. With a Smooth Rock and Roll classic hits soundtrack from the 70s, 80s & 90s, and an emphasis on serving communities in Hancock, Washington and southern Penobscot Counties, Star 97.7 has earned the distinction of being Maine’s premiere community radio station.
