0:00.0	Hey, so welcome to downtown Dixmont, Maine, Ray.
0:05.0	Where? I mean, all I sees a few houses and antiques store in a barn.
0:08.3	Yeah, no, Dicksmont is a small town.
0:10.5	Okay.
0:11.0	But right here at the intersection of Route 202 and Moosehead Trail Highway is pretty much all you're going to get for a downtown.
0:17.0	Yeah, there's not much here. And the closest city is Bangor about 20 miles to the northeast.

1:16.8	week I launched a new kind of radio station called Radio. We decided that's how you're going to
1:23.3	say it. Radio with a Y. Radio with a Y. Localradio.com. It's a community-oriented online radio station.
1:30.6	It sounds just like a radio station you'd find on the dial, but you find it online.
