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.

And I have to listen to the games with Wayne Larviee and Larry McCarren, even through it is not every minute of every game, and per to NFL rules they can only broadcast games on the internet on a desk top computer. So you can listen to games on a cell phone, so you can't really take away a star for them. I can't really comment on their other programming, which they also mention that they only carry shows that originate from their studios. Really wish tonight's Packers and Lions game was going better, and more in the Packers way. And you know with MLB they prevent local stations for broadcasting their call of the games on the internet.

Literally, with the volume of music that fits their format, they should not have to repeat a song even once in an entire month. I am sure some idiot consultant tells them to play "this Bon Jovi song at this time every day, and this one Rolling Stones song, and this one Aerosmith song..." Makes me want to puke.

He touches subjects others shy away from. Issues that don't make the news are also discussed by Earl Ingram. Usually I'm not a fan of talk radio, however 1290 has turned me into a fan for life. They also have a music mix starting at 6pm for all the Blues lovers out there.

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.
