Wilkes-Barre, Pa.-based New Age is selling its CW affiliate in Portland, Maine, WPXT, to Tyche Broadcasting for $75,000, according to an FCC filing seeking approval of the deal. Tyche is owned Frank Copsidas of Portland, who has no other broadcast interests. New Age has been operating WPXT in a virtual duopoly with WPME, an MNT affiliate owned by MPS Media.
