As promised, WYMS 88.9-FM will continue to support local artists. And now it will be broadcast and streamed around the clock on 414Music.fm, a new HD2 radio channel and stream that 88Nine Radio Milwaukee will launch June 20, the station announced Friday. 414Music.fm will be simulcast on 88Nine’s HD2 frequency, online at www.414Music.fm and on the station’s app. The station is inviting Milwaukee musicians to submit their music, recently recorded or from past years, to Radio Milwaukee for possible inclusion on 414Music.fm.
This bolsters 88Nine’s commitment since its founding 10 years ago to playing and supporting Milwaukee bands, Program Director Jordan Lee said. The station plays at least one Milwaukee artist every hour and supports Milwaukee bands via its weekly on-air “414 Live” interview and performance show and its annual Milwaukee Music Awards.
“We’re launching something that the city has never had before – a 100% Milwaukee music service that will connect Milwaukee music to listeners anywhere and everywhere,” Lee said. “We want Milwaukee musicians, past and present, to submit their music now. This is your city, your scene, and we need your help.”
