WEZQ (92.9 FM; "The Ticket") is a radio station broadcasting a sports radio format. Licensed to Bangor, Maine, USA, the station serves the Bangor area. The station is currently owned by Townsquare Media and features programming from ESPN Radio. The station features local talk, ESPN Radio, and Boston Bruins and New England Patriots games.
The station went on the air June 9, 1976, as WPBC, a beautiful music station owned by Penobscot Broadcasting. It became WSHZ in 1992, after the station evolved to a soft adult contemporary format. In October 1993, WSHZ was purchased by Dudman Communications, owner of WDEA and WWMJ in Ellsworth; that December, the station changed its call sign to WEZQ, though the "Soft Hits 92.9" branding used as WSHZ was retained for several years after becoming WEZQ. Dudman sold its stations to Cumulus Media in 1998. In later years, WEZQ carried Delilah and The Bob and Sheri Show.
On July 31, 2012, Cumulus swapped 55 stations, including WEZQ, to Townsquare Media in exchange for Townsquare's stations in Bloomington and Peoria, Illinois. On January 1, 2013, Townsquare relaunched the station with a sports format as "92.9 The Ticket".
