School cancellations and delays are not uncommon in the state of Maine, especially during the winter months. Most are caused by weather conditions, with the exception of an occasional power outage or maintenance issue. Here are some of the most useful media outlets for information on the latest Maine school cancellations:

Bangor: WABI 5 / Portland: WCSH 6 / Presque Isle: WAGM 8

Additional methods are available for obtaining this information. Some Maine colleges and universities indicate cancellations on their web sites and/or have a specific telephone number for cancellation inquiries. School web sites often provide lists of media outlets which broadcast their cancellations.

Also, certain TV stations (such as WABI-5) have an option on their web sites to sign up for e-mail notifications when a particular school or business closes. Many radio stations broadcast cancellation details as well, particularly WPOR, WGAN, WMGX, WBLM, WABK, WHOU, and WKTJ.
