Blues, Jazz, Funk, R&B, and Americana are just a few of the genres well represented. Check out the programming guide at wmse.org. Listen to your favorite shows live or binge on the extensive online catalog of previous shows. Consider yourself lucky to be part of a city with access to great radio like this.

The staff made us listeners feel so welcome and made it a really fun time. We're lucky to have such diverse programming on this station and it's 100% independent. They love music and Milwaukee and it's evident whenever you tune in. Just a note: The Broadway address is their mailing address - the physical address for the station is actually 820 N. Milwaukee St.

This is a listener-sponsored community radio station that started back in early 1970's. WORT was voted "Favorite local radio station" in the 2006 "Madison's Favorites" poll conducted by Isthmus (a weekly Madison paper). My godmother and her partner work/volunteer at the station so I've learned a lot about the place over the years and a bit about the inner working of radio show producing. Their News and Public Affairs programming is an eye/ear opening experience. I learn something new every time I tune in. There are programs like In Our Backyard, Queery (for the LGBT community), Access Hour (an ever changing show from members of the community), and my favorite Her Turn (News and information by and about women). For the music lover they have a little of everything. You can start your weekend with Mexican music, classic R&B, vintage jazz & swing, reggae, African, salsa & Latin jazz, rock 'n' roll oldies, hip-hop, medieval & renaissance, women's music, showtunes, world, kids, gospel, electronic, experimental, and avant garde music. The weekday schedule is a bit different but includes classical, folk & international, rock, techno, metal, and blues. Although their coverage area is only about a 50 mile radius of Madison, you can listen on-line so check out their webstream and listen to something new. But please note that all of the people on air are professionals but not necessarily professional DJs. Some of them are plain everyday folks.

This review is for the FM station - WIIL - since that is what I listen to. This station has the…read moreguts to play music outside the mainstream. For starters, very few stations can say they have stuck with the same format and formula for over 20 years - and have it work - but WIIL rock can. They stand out from the other corporate owned clones of each other found everywhere on the dial today. The morning show is original and the hosts do a decent job entertaining. Even if the humor gets silly, you can tell they genuinely enjoy what they do - and try to have fun with it. Take a listen to WTMX in the morning (or the Drive..etc.), and if you have not vomited from the innocuous prepacked "McBanter" than you should not listen to WIIL. If you appreciate real people - flaws and all on air - and real rock - then 95 WIIL rock is your station.

It seems inbred having the same retired professor types on the air for years offering a little more than just sounding nice. I don't think they've earned their license. I think they should be putting students on the air with some rotation instead of just the old uninspiring tired radio personalities and perpetual guests. I think if they were doing a better job they wouldn't need government funding. Their control freaks they don't announce the topics that guests will be speaking on in advance so callers can prepare and there's some hope of a solid program. Out of state public radio stations like Chuckavardi from Boston are much better. Probably NYC public radio would be better Then this jingoistic Wisconsin garbage.

They put the oomph in Ooompa! The DJs here really know their stuff. You can tune in on TuneIn, on their website, or over your smart speaker. I've learned so much about waltzes and polkas since I've started listening to this station. It's not all old polka either, they throw some recent stuff in there as well. It's obvious that the DJs aren't just spinning records because the studio is a place to keep warm in Wisconsin, they genuinely love the stuff! I try to tune in as often as I can, especially when hoisting a stein and cheering, "Prost!" Das ist gut, ja?!
