Congratulations to an amazing team at @opb.org and one of my favorite stations @kmhd.bsky.social on their success. In a challenging era for public media, these genuine pros deserve a win.
As heard tonight on #kexp, a local hit that played on the “Soul Giant” 1460 and 96.5 KYAC. My new favorite classic.

Sad to lose them but what a way to make the most of a station sale! Much respect and appreciation to the team at FM 102/1.
@rossonradio.com might appreciate this one.
A huge influence for me on what talk radio could be, transcending the political and helping us all laugh at ourselves and the world around us a bit more. Gary was incredible.
The Romantics’ “What I Like About You” was destined to be ska! 🎷 Jer Hunter from Ska Tune Network brings it to life with brass, organ, and dance-ready skanking vibes. zurl.co/8Ruag

Rep Lauren Boebert's now-explained campaign expenses at a Kid Rock concert were tied to her $12,000/person fundraiser in a suite at the Kid Rock show.
That's about $521 for every diggy-diggy-diggy in Bawitdaba, or $173 on a per diggy basis.
The Romantics’ “What I Like About You” always had ska potential — and Jer Hunter from Ska Tune Network proves it. With brass, organ, and infectious skanking vibes, this high-energy cover will make you fall in love with the hit all over again.
We did it y'all!!!!

While we’re all mourning the loss of FM 102/1 on our radio dials, the station is going out with a bang, and they’re looking back at the history of WLUM-FM in the process.
Beginning today, the station is going through a series of special theme days, including one day as Hot 102 (Wednesday), a day as New Rock 1021 (Thursday) and more. You can listen online on the station’s online player or on FM 102.1 every day from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. for each day's theme.
Next week features “No Red Hot Chili Peppers Day” on Monday, followed by “Only Red Hot Chili Peppers Day” on Tuesday, so you can plan accordingly. Wednesday will feature a full day of programming from the Retro Brunch catalogue, which was normally held for Sunday mornings, and Thursday features music from Indie Soundcheck, formerly held for Sunday nights. Friday, September 26th will take a special look at Milwaukee music, and the station’s penultimate day on September 29th will be Adler Day, with the return of now-88Nine Radio Milwaukee DJ Jon Adler (for one day only.) Old faces will return, and surprises are aplenty in the station’s programming. A host of Hot 102 DJs are in the building for Wednesday’s programming.
On Thursday, you can celebrate the station one last time at The New Fashioned in Deer District, for an FM 102/1 Homecoming party from 4-6 p.m., which is free and open to the public. Several 102/1 personalities will be in the building, giving one final in-person thank you to Milwaukee.
Earlier this month, Milwaukee Radio Alliance sold the 102.1 FM, as well as B933.3 FM to Christian radio conglomerate K-Love. A programming change is expected in the weeks to follow.
While we’re certainly crying that it’s over for FM 102/1, we’ll enjoy it while we can, and take a fond look back at the memories of WLUM-FM over the past several decades, and the legacy of independently programmed radio in Milwaukee.
