WMIL-FM (106.1 FM) is a country music-formatted radio station in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, licensed to Waukesha, Wisconsin. They are known on-air simply as "FM 106.1". WMIL is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc.. Its studios are located in the Milwaukee suburb of Greenfield and the transmitter site is in Milwaukee's North Side near Estabrook Park. Current local programming is heard exclusively during the morning show with "Karen, Scott, and Radar". All other timeslots are voicetracked from other iHeartMedia markets or contain syndicated programming. Current Program Director is Kerry Wolfe who started with the station in August 1989. ==History== The station launched January 1, 1962 with the WAUX-FM call sign, sister station to WAUX (1510 AM). A few years later, they became WAUK and WAUK-FM respectively, both simulcasting programming 100%. During the 1970s, WAUK-FM aired a beautiful music format. The station adopted the WMIL-FM call sign (formerly used by 95.7 FM) in December 1975. WMIL-FM went silent for a time when the owners, Stebbins Communications, which had acquired the two stations in 1975, went bankrupt. The AM station had already been sold to another company in 1977. Charter Broadcasting, which already owned WOKY, purchased WMIL-FM in 1979. The company sold both stations to Sundance Broadcasting in June 1983, as WMIL-FM launched its present country format, competing against WBCS. As a country station, WMIL-FM has long been successful in the local ratings. In 2007, WMIL-FM was voted "Top Country Station in a Large Market". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WMIL-FM」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
