On that day, WCYR and WJYE began a trimulcast with sister station WHTP in Portland, and rebranded as Hot Radio Maine. [6] The stunt came shortly after the sale of WCYR to WJYE's ownership was announced [7] the sale was consummated on January 31, 2020. The call sign was changed to WHZP on March 1, 2020. [2]
