We had a listening party at the radio station and we had the opportunity to vote on songs that they would play on the radio. It was a wonderful time, and the event was catered. The staff was extremely nice and gave us a tour of the facilities. the radio station just changed their logo and it looks really nice and it's something that's fresh and simplistic.

You will not hear repeats like you do on some many other commercial radio stations. What you will hear are some of the most passionate and knowledgeable DJ's on the airwaves. All air time is divided into three hour blocks and programmed by the DJ's who volunteer their time to bring some of the coolest music ever recorded to their listeners. 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.

There are two main public radio stations in the Milwaukee area: WUWM (Milwaukee Public Radio) and…read moreWHAD (Wisconsin Public Radio). WHAD seems to have a much larger variety of Wisconsin-centric programming, but I prefer WUWM's lineup. I'm addicted to it, really. The majority of their programming is made up of the nationally-syndicated shows (All Things Considered, etc), but the locally-produced programs like Lake Effect are excellent. Perhaps I'm choosing not to notice a slant, but it seems like it's a rare feat for a talk radio station to be anything other than a constant stream of opinions. Consider this the panacea for Mark Belling-/Sly Sylvester-induced nausea, depending on your political stance. Can a positive Yelp review be a substitute for a monetary donation to WUWM? I hope so. Then maybe I won't feel so guilty when they do fund drives.....

It's almost as if it were as vital as the air I breathe, well wait maybe not that needed but eesh a day without it I feel a bit lost! It's definetly a part of the morning routine. Must make coffee, must listen to Morning Edition and the BBC Network. These things go hand in hand. It's a tradition of listening handed down to me by my pops.I even have my wife taking part in it. The weekends it's Car Talk even the reruns then Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. I love it all. To me it is radio at it's finest. The heightening of the sense of mental visualization through listening. It will always beat watching TV hands down.

The "other" public radio station in Milwaukee…read more I say "other," but honestly, it's just as good as WUWM. When the mood strikes me for more Wisconsin-based broadcasting (such as during the recent midterm elections) I'll turn the dial up a few notches to 90.7. They've got a decent run-through of the nationally syndicated shows (although I think WUWM's got a slightly better spattering) but the real draw here is the Kathleen Dunn Show. This woman is entrancing. Listening to her interview guests is like listening to my school-marm-ey aunt from Green Bay tell a story. The topic might not be particularly engrossing, the dialogue might not always be something particularly interesting, but there's just a certain "je ne sais quoi" that keeps me tuned in. Seriously, the amount of times I've sat in front of my house with the car on to allow Ms. Dunn's segment to finish is embarrassing. There's something about her voice or the way that she interacts with her guests that typifies "Wisconsin" to me, and that makes her an excellent face (well, voice) to represent Wisconsin Public Radio.

Most Ideas Network programs come from the main studios in Madison, but much comes from other sources nation & world wide. (It's not just an outlet for mainly NPR as is the case with much of WUWM.) WPR has an illustrious 100 year history that tracks their development from an experimental broadcast radio station of the Univ. of Wisc. Physics Dept. through Educational & Instructional Radio for in school use and serving rural populations to it's present incarnation as one of the leading Pubic Radio operations in the nation. It's good listening regardless of which service you tune in, any time, day or night.

Non-commercial, but they've got some local underwriting, &, of course membership drives, however calling them a Pubic Radio station is pushing it. If you're in to what they're playing, including bringing in a lot of different kinds of local musical talent, you're most likely going to be entertained. Give 'em a listen, but don't expect to be tuned in all day.
