The ‘Coolest Little Station in the Nation’ Celebrates 10 Years
from City Cast Madison · host City Cast
The low-power radio station broadcasting out of Monona’s City Hall turns 10 years old this month! WVMO 98.7 FM has been dubbed one of the “coolest radio stations in the nation” and for good reason. City Cast Madison host Bianca Martin chats with Stacy Harbaugh aka DJ Shotski, host of Polka Time, to dig into the station’s decade on air and how it’s built a tight-knit community of volunteers and listeners in Madison’s backyard. We also hear a little from Bianca’s first conversation about WVMO with station founder and Wisconsin Broadcast Hall of Famer Lindsay Wood Davis. The WVMO Anniversary show featuring the Tim O’Brien Band is happening Aug. 28 at The Atwood Music Hall 👋 Wanna talk to us about an episode?
