Wmpg fm from Portland Maine is no longer public radio with community DJs. According to their own website at wmpg.org/volunteer They're college radio now only available for college students. This should be de-funded by mission statement. Along with the Corporation for public broadcasting goals.

Thank you for contacting the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). WMPG is not a station qualified for a CPB Community Service Grant (CSG). To qualify for a grant from CPB, a station must be operating under a noncommercial educational license granted by the FCC and meet several criteria including: operating under a valid renewable broadcast license issued by the United States Federal government, must have a minimum operating schedule of 18 consecutive hours per day, seven days per week, and 52 weeks per year. More information about eligibility requirements for radio stations is available here: http://cpb.org/stations/certification/ and https://www.cpb.org/sites/default/files/stations/radio/generalprovisions/FY-2022-Radio-General-Provisions.pdf
