About station About WYMS 88.9 "Radio Milwaukee", WI
WYMS (88.9 FM) is a non-commercial radio station in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The station currently airs an eclectic adult album alternative music format, branded as "88Nine Radio Milwaukee".
The station's license is owned by Milwaukee Public Schools, though it is managed and programmed by an outside group, also named Radio Milwaukee. In addition, WYMS airs weekly school board meetings on the over-the-air signal as a condition of MPS leasing the signal to Radio Milwaukee. The station broadcast in the HD Radio (digital hybrid) format, with its second subchannel carrying a locally-based automated AAA format. WYMS transmits from the WITI TV Tower in Shorewood and has their studios inside the Radio Milwaukee Walker's Point Studios within the J.C. Busch Co. Building on 220 East Pittsburgh Avenue in the Walker's Point area, with backup facilities maintained at the former main studios in the MPS administration building (also known as the Central Services or Central Office building) on West Vliet Street in the Washington Park neighborhood. The Vliet studios continue to be maintained for school board meetings and for FCC correspondence, which remains under the purview of MPS. The public radio station announced its purchase of the new studio facility in March 2013. It includes four recording studios, among other amenities. The move was completed in August 2013, with the station's first music awards ceremony held in the winter of 2013.
