Maryhope Tobin

Project Manager

I discovered WMPG the moment I moved to Maine in 1999. I thought “oh, I loved being on the radio in college! Perhaps I shall do an 80s show on WMPG!” Then I heard the 80s guy and thought, “perhaps I shall do a 70s show on WMPG!” And so it came to be in 2006. My current show is PURPLE MONKEY DISHWASHER, Mondays at 1:00 am.

Jim Rand

Station Manager

Jim began at WMPG as a USM student in 1983 where he received a business degree in 1986. For fun he DJ’d The Modern Music Show every Saturday night from 10pm-1am until the late 90s. After that he held down the Thursday afternoon rock show Land of the Lost for many years. He became Program Director in 1991 and in 1998 became Station Manager where he has served to this day.

Jessica graduated from USM in Communications as a non-traditional student in 1998, and was awesome enough to land a job in Broadcasting at WMPG.

She was was Program Director (1 st time) for 3 years and then stepped down to pursue a career as a freelance audio producer. In 2017, Jessica became Program Director (2nd time) and has been thrilled and humbled to continue as an MPGer.
