Nate Hanscom – Weekend Newscaster

Nate Hanscom is a newscaster for Newsradio WGAN (98.5 FM, AM 560) in the Southern Maine area, talking about the latest and most interesting things happening in the state at the top and bottom of the hour on weekend afternoons. At 21 he’s currently the youngest on-air personality in terms of age at WGAN’s parent company Portland Media Group, bringing a high energy Gen-Z perspective to broadcasting for over 2 years.
Away from the hustle and bustle of radio, Nate is a student at Southern Maine Community College in South Portland working towards an associate degree in music, and eventually aims to have a career in audio/music. He’s also incredibly passionate about animals (for some reason mostly ones that are capable of killing you) and the environment, usually shining a light on issues and news regarding those two topics whenever he can. In his spare time, you’ll probably find him jamming out to sludge metal, playing guitar and writing songs, and hanging out with his dog Bear.
