Fractured reality captured in quality, high definition.
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.
FM 102/1 says goodbye with theme days and a final party at The New Fashioned
FM 102/1 says goodbye with theme days and a final party at The New Fashioned
Want to catch a concert near you? Don't forget to check out our monthly concert listings! 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.

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.

Whether it's Zohran Mamdani opening city-run grocery stores or Eric Adams handing potato chip bags filled with cash to reporters, both candidates have provocative ways of getting food to New Yorkers.

@wxpnfm.bsky.social doing Through the Decades already has made my weekend, but @wendyrollins.bsky.social is making it extra awesome. Some of the best mic skills I’ve heard on terrestrial radio in quite a while.

If you’re going to stream your terrestrial station and expect people to actually listen, maybe fix the distortion and poor audio. It’s as though hundreds of broadcasters don’t actually listen to their own product and wonder why audiences are less engaged.

Could we just live in slightly LESS interesting times for a bit? Just to catch our breath and all…

Listening to Z62 WZON and WZLO in Bangor today. Those who cheer on “nationalized” radio may not be wrong on the economics, but local radio at its best reflects the uniqueness of its community. Losing that is a loss for culture and society writ large.

Hey! It’s another of North America’s truly awesome radio stations on Bluesky! Welcome @indie88toronto.bsky.social

You should stream them too, they rock.

The Triple A/non-comm music discovery format shows its strength during holiday music programming. Mixing eras and genres brilliantly. Austin’s @kutx.bsky.social is on point today - Americana, indie, local, jazz and standards. Tele Novella’s version of “Purple Snowflakes” to name but one discovery.

Great news for local radio. It’s diversified local entrepreneurs that will preserve it, not the over-leveraged national companies. This needs to happen more.

Just a reminder that “Sledgehammer” by Peter Gabriel is a total banger, and isn’t played enough.

Soundtracking my day with wkitfm.com. Steven King has done an amazing job keeping radio local in Bangor, running one of the last real mainstream rock & roll stations, along with Triple A formatted WZLO and classic hits on WZON. I hope a like-minded operator can be found to continue their service.
