Station Background

WMWM is a non-commercial radio station at 91.7 megaHertz in Salem, Massachusetts, licensed to Salem State College. The station was founded as WSSC AM 640 (carrier current) in 1968 but became WMWM at 91.7 FM in 1976 with a power of 10 watts. Power was increased to 130 watts in 1978.

The station features alternative rock with specialty shows devoted to local rock, foreign language programming, blues, jazz, doo wop, country, and electronica. It broadcasts 24 hours a day utilizing computerized automation playlists when a live DJ is not available. The station has a website at http://www.wmwmsalem.com.

Among the past DJs of WMWM are Chris Kennedy, now with Greater Media in Boston, and cartoonists Keith Knight (The K Chronicles) and Mark Parisi (Off the Mark).

Automation

WMWM features automated playlist technologies, such as automated weather reports and news updates for college students. By utilizing text-to-speech software, WMWM is able to automatically provide information via voice to morning commuters and other listeners.
