Thank you, Tom!!

We are so excited about WMSE's 43rd Anniversary on March 17! It's been a great year and we accomplished so much because of members' support! You and the other supporting members make WMSE possible. Thank you!

Art & Music was an amazing event and raised over $43,000 to support programming for WMSE! Thank you to the talented artists and volunteers who made it happen!

We are ecstatic for WMSE's 22nd Rockabilly Chili Fundraiser to return to MSOE's Kern Center on Sunday, April 7. Look forward to a big announcement in April.

Thank you for 43 years of community-powered free-form radio!
