Old Milwaukee Radio
Vacatio...@webtv.net
mid-1980s and I was wondering if anybody knew could post what formats
the following radio stations used to be and what types of music they
played at the time:
WLPX (97.3)
WZUU (95.7)
WXJY (98.3)
WJZQ (95.1)
WKZN (96.9)
WFNY (92.1)
WRKR (100.7)
WBKV (92.5)
Radio in Milwaukee today seems to be very boring, although I am
wondering if it is any different from in the past. Thank you for any
information.

Wasn't this the station from Racine? It was one of my favorites. Played Top
40.
The above comments are the author's opinions and should
not be misconstrued as flames against someone with differing

I think I can remember a few from the mid-80's though the dates are not clear in
my mind...
WZUU (the zoo) was top 40/rock
WBKV (West Bend) was "easy listening" (read: elevator music)
WRKR (Racine??? Was this a jazz station? Wasn't it the one that carried Dr.
Demento?)

Yepper. "The Rocker" was a Top 40 station, competition for KTI, that
was the only place to hear the good Doctor in SE Wisconsin.
WLPX was an "album rock" aka "progressive rock" (hence the LP in it's
name) like the original QFM. I believe Joy98 was a soft rock/easy
listening station. ZUU ("The Zoo") was Top 40, home of Larry the
Legend and is now Oldies 95.
Not sure of the others.

Yes, WRKR was licensed to Racine. (the 100.7 station, whatever its
calls are these days, is still technically a Racine station. These
days, all that means is the tower has to be located somewhere that
provides a decent signal in Racine & they have to have a toll-free
phone number that works in Racine.)
It was a jazz station for awhile, but I don't think as WRKR - I think
they changed their call letters first.

IMHO it isn't any worse than it was after WZMF died. Nor is it any
better.

Yes, Dr. Demento, on Sunday nights. Wasn't it after Casey Kasem's top 40

80's.

ZMF! Man, that brings back memories! The Milwaukee Famous and totally
decrepit, "Grandfather of Milwaukee Rock Radio" Bob Reitman (now on 94
WKTI), got his Milwaukee start. He used to play tons of Dylan and other
folksy stuff nightly, (don't remember any Patti Page... maybe some Patti
Smith, though), from 8-10 pm., then they would magically switch over to
"Classical" music of all things.
I used to lay in bed on school nights with my headphones on "groovin'"
to Dylan, CSN, Airplane, with the occasional Stones or Hendrix cut
thrown in for good measure, and wake up around 10:30 or 11:00 listening
to Mozart's 5th, with one side of my headphones not working because I
was sleeping on the cord and twisted it funny. I musta went through a
truckload of headphones back then!
Those days will never come again, but will live on in my memory forever,
(or at least until I'm on permanent "Lay-a-way")!
Amen!

I'm stil laghing about the "Hendrix and Patti Page" comment.Is there a
Patti Page out there somewhere who was ever ANYTHING like Hendrix? (I'm
thinking of the one who made, "Hush Hush, Sweet Charlott" - anyway..to
respond to the second part, I've found in my travels that a good radio
station is hard to find ANYWHERE. Most of them have sold out to the high
advertising dollars and have lost the integrity of the music. Best
bets? I usually head for the college radio stations. A lot of them are
still playing experimental stuff - off the beaten path sort of music -
world beat, alternative, folk, et al. I've found that college radio
stations offer a wider variety of better music than most commercial ones
do. Any good ones in Milwaukee?

I am really wondering what would make radio in Milwaukee not "boring." We
had two format changes in the past month (WAMG -> WXSS; WLUM), two more a
year ago (WFMI -> WPNT, WLZR-AM -> WJYI), and off the top of my head
at least another three in the past 4 or 5 years (WQFM -> WJZI; WLUM; WEZW
-> WAMG).
I don't know that I'd call Milwaukee radio volatile or anything, but
there is definitely enough to keep it from falling into "boring." The two
changes in the past month are so wacked out by Milwaukee standrds that
should be entertaining enough to try predicting what song - or even what
genre - is going to be next.
I didn't want this to sound accusatory;I truly wonder what would make it
not "boring."

It was advertised as underground music and it was "cool" to listen to WZMF even
if you didn't like the music! :-)
And yes, it was in Menomonee Falls.

Ah, yes...I understod the comment about their style of music. However,
Hendrix and Patti Page don't SHARE a style...and that's what I found
funny. They are as different as ...well...Hendrix and Patti Page! :-)
The thought of Milwaukee's having a station that played both as a
"style" just strikes me as humorous.

Yup... WZMF,in Menomonee Falls. Back in the late 60's they
were an "Acid Rock" station.
Now, that transmitter broadcasts WFMR at 98.3. WFMR is our local
classical music station. It's moved around the dial quite a bit,
unfortunately. And every time it moves, it seems to get a
weaker signal. :-( :-(
Which reminds me -- no one has mentioned WFMR !! It used to
broadcasat from the top of an office building at 6th and Wisconsin.
(You took the elevator to the top floor, then walked up two more floors
into the tower.) This was back in the days when it was completely
non-commercial -- meaning they ran _NO_ commercials! Nice. *Very* nice!
The Menomonee Falls transmitter site seems particularly ill suited
for area coverage. I think it's at the bottom of a hollow which,
combined with a short tower and weak signal, makes for problematic
reception. Oh, and being sandwiched between two 50,000 watt stations
doesn't help matters, either.

Boo BAD memory Nancy. WRIT and WOKY were AM stations, and Joe Dorsey was on
WEMP AM. Anyone care to take a stab at FM in the 1963-65 era? What was the top
rated FM show in that time. Afternoon drive?

I get excellent reception down on the lakefront. Maybe being on the
sixth floor helps.
Now I wish I could get better reception of WNIB/WNIZ from Zion, which
is what I listen to these days (and which is where Obie Yadgar has
gone).

Our thought for the day, a lesson from history:
When Adolf Hitler's Nazis assumed power in Germany in
1933, one of their first acts was to close non-religious
public schools. Hitler forced all parents to send their
children to schools offering religious education.
Are you a political or religious Conservative?

I'm a big fan of NPR (WUWM, WHAD), like the jazz on WYMS, but for sheer musical
variety, I don't think there is a station in town that can compete with 91.7 FM,
WMSE.
Other ideas?

That I can't answer. I didn't start listening to FM until Bob Reitman
started his radio career on Sunday nights on his first show, WUWM's
"It's All Right, Ma...It's Only Music." I remember the excitement of
discovering the "Hair" soundtrack, David Peel and the Lower East
Side's "Have A Marijuana" and the Dylan tracks that AM radio ignored
at the time. It was the only place to hear such things and a musical
epiphany for many, I suspect, including myself.

Yes, that certainly won't hurt. Me? I'm at ground level (or below :-( ),
in a steel framed building. Heck, it's en _entirely_ steel building!

I have no problem with reception at home though (SW part of Milwaukee).
Maybe it's my receiver -- I can pick up WFMT out of Chicago in _stereo_
with it -- with just your basic indoor dipole antenna. (Yes, it's a _good_
receiver.)

I'm sure if they ran no commercials, it wasn't on purpose! To the
best of my knowledge, WFMR (both as 96.5 and as 98.3) has always been
licensed as a commercial station. But just because the FCC says you
can sell ads doesn't mean advertisers have to buy any<G>...

It's in a swamp a few miles southwest of downtown MF. It'd be a
fantastic site for an AM station... Really, it isn't horribly bad for
FM either, but as you say it suffers for its relatively low power &
tower. The station is licensed to Menomonee Falls, which means they
can't move the transmitter to the Capitol Drive antenna farm where so
many other stations are - and in general, they probably can't go too
far east of their current site without running afoul of Timmerman
Field.

It's moved twice that I know of. They used to be at 93.1 (I think -- it
was a *long* time ago), then moved to 96.5, and now 98.3.
The first frequency was when they broadcast from the "roof" of the
office building at 6th and Wisconsin. 96.5 was used when their
studios were on Capital Drive, with transmitter in Glendale, on the
Schlitz grain elevators. Now they're in the swamp (as you mention)
out in Menomonee Falls. (Still, the "swamp" seemed to be more
convenient for people to deliver chocolate chip cookies to Ron
Cuzner, though. :-) )

That's the "new" WFMR. The "old" one really did _not_ run
commercials, and it was quite deliberate. The station was owned and
run for years by a "classical junkie". Why? Hobby, maybe. Or a
sense of civic duty. It certainly was not a profit center.
It finally got to cost too much. There was a period of "reduced
hours", followed by a period when they were off the air completely.
After public uproar, they came back on the air part-time (evenings
only, as I recall). However, their return was a shock, since they
were now running actual Madison Avenue (and therefore completely
obnoxious) commercials. (Think "Claire de Lune" followed immediately
by a loud, blaring, obnoxious cigarette commercial. Yuk!) But at
least Classical Music _was_ back on the air.

I thought that there was no FM till about early 1970. I could be wrong.

Interesting story... 'FMR was on the "22nd floor" the wisconsin tower (606 W.
Wisconsin Ave.) and as far as a few years ago the 'FMR studios were still
intact, at least the walls... you had to go to the 21st floor (as far as the
elevator would take you) and then walk up the stairs (now armed with a fire
alarm) to get there... If memory serves correct, WQFM was chartered by one of
the FMR partners who wanted to have his own station... Hugo (I can't remeber
his last name...) he parted, got the 'QFM calls and the suite on the 21st floor
in '56 (where the studios stayed untill 1993). Hugo sold 'QFM to Shamrock in
1973 and Hugo committed suicide in the break room shortly thereafter... As a
'QFM alum (92-96), however, I miss the station and the most spectacular view of
downtown Milwaukee anyone has ever seen... Seeing that skyline and hanging out
on that ledge before you go on the air was the best...even if the studios were
a little lacking... beats the hell outta broadcasting out of a shoebox in the
'burbs....but I digress...

lot of people by playing long tapes of recorded music (and repeating
them every few days). the Obie Yadgar crowd was in a terrible snit
over this canned music, but I found some very interesting and obscure
music I'd never heard before (Weber's Turandot, for example, which was
doubly interesting becaused of what Hindemith did with it.)
I quit WFMR permanently when the Washington DC crowd took over, and
"Waltz of the Flowers" became the most popular piece (of course Obie
Yadgar and his Pachelbel Canon got to be almost as bad).
I have recently listened a bit to WFMR, and it appears to me that the
Sony (?) Washington DC Waltz of the Flowers crap is no longer being
used, but I've grown so used to WNIB that, even with the noisy
reception, I haven't gone back to WFMR.

He's been back for years. Don't think he was out west anywhere. As far as I

Before WZMF? Nothing. They built it new in 1966. It did operate as

Interesting. Never heard of the 93.x implementation. (it couldn't
have been 93.1 as that channel's been in use in Chicago forever, but I
would believe 93.3. WTMJ-FM (now WKTI) originally used that channel
but gave it up in the mid- or late-50s & I could certainly believe
someone else took it over for a classical outlet. )
Some underground rock stations were known to refuse pre-recorded
commercials; they would air only ads read by their own DJs. The idea
being to avoid just that kind of jarring change in tone. I'm sure
other classical stations had the same idea.

W55M on 45.5MHz was one of the earliest FM stations in the country, in
1940. It became WTMJ-FM on 93.3 after WW2, but was shut down in the
mid- or late-50s. (as were hundreds of other FM stations across the
country; FM hadn't proven nearly as popular as radio executives
expected.)
Most Milwaukee FM stations now operating signed on sometime between
1958 and 1962. Some of the non-commercial stations below 92MHz are
newer; WFMR is the newest of the commercial operations having started
in 1966. 106.1 was off the air for over 10 years, but is
theoretically the same station that started as WAUK-FM in 1962.

The only thing that is "Commen Sense" about Conservatism and the GOP,
(which stands for "Goofy Old-time Politics), is its simple shallow
nature. To the GOP life is simple and uncomplicated.
They attatch their own meaning to things that are said and done, (i.e.
"If he's "For" the environmental movement, he HAS to be "Against"
business, meaning that he's also against Capitalism, which means that he
MUST be "Un-American, and therefore a "Traitor"!!)
Everything is *Cut & Dried*, ("If he says 'This', he MUST mean 'That!).
Simple "Common Sense"! Who needs all those bothersome facts and the
nuisance of all that complicated 'data'. Simple minds are usually
conservatives! Deeper thinkers are generally considered "liberal"
whether they are actually "liberal" or not.
So here's the litmus test:
If you are confused about an issue, it HAS to be a LIBERAL stand on that
issue!
If you find yourself saying, "Hey wait a minute, what about so & so,
you've just heard the conservative side of the same issue.

Nancy, lets' think a little bit about how the Conservatives think through
issues. (I don't know where you stand on this issue yourself.)
The $400+ million Miller Park was promoted by a self-proclaimed
Conservative Republician, Tommy Thompson. Every business magazine I've
read that has articles about public financing of baseball stadiums says
that they are a very bad financial investment in the communitys. Forbes
Magazine was one of those who gave a less than glowing report. The only
positive thing about the stadium is that we feel good about ourselves,
we're a major league city. But, $400 million is a lot of taxes especially
from the Conservatives who hate taxes. Yet, many people, listening to
Mark and Charley, and yes, Jon Green, called their representatives and
demanded that they vote for the stadium because they were told to do this
by Governor Thompson. People didn't think for themselves, they just did
what they were told to do.
Another thing. I actually rode out to Watertown on the train a couple of
times as a recreational trip when Amtrack was running these trips. The
Conservatives are all gearing up to kill the train. Why is my recreation
less deserving of support than those people going to a ball games?
Why should the State support Derry's Pub in Milwaukee, near the stadium,
and refuse to support Mel's Diner in Oconomowoc? Both businesses get a
boost in income from a nearby attraction. In fact, if I were a small
business owner in Waukesha County that couldn't afford to pay high wages,
I'd be promoting alternative transportation.
It does seem that Conservatives don't think for themselves, they just do
as they are told by their leaders.

And again, puhleeze.
Frankly, in my opinion, it's the bleeding-heart liberals who don't think things
all the way through.....they vote for something because it sounds "good"
without thinking out all the ramifications. For example, the "big" thing for
Democratic candidates for governor now is "cutting taxes" but they fail to
mention that to cut taxes, they will have to cut government spending, which
means cutting government handouts, programs, etc etc. It's the liberals with
their heads in the utopian clouds wishing things could be the way they'd like
them to be without putting their feet back on the ground and seeing reality.

I disagree with you beginning with your derrogatory and unkind "bleeding
heart" terminology used to describe people who have a strong interest in
human rights issues, I don't know. Is that "Christian-like" ? Cutting
taxes does not necessarily have the negative rammifications that you
mentioned above. It does not necessarily eleminate programs for the
poor, for example, it simply redirects them to the private sector. Is
that so bad? Less government spending places more power in the hands of
the people, so it would seem.

What private sector would that be Stacy? Has this been done recently by the

Most Conservatives I've encountered are unthinking parrots, generally
giving the impression of being in the lower IQ range, who are
manipulated by hypocritical Conservative leaders with ulterior
motives.
You can see this in all the Conservative propaganda.
For example, a bill to reform welfare is not a "Welfare Reform Bill,"
but a "Personal Responsibility Bill."
It's all propaganda, and Conservative nuts fall for it and squawk it
like parrots. I've seldom seen anything approaching an original
thought by a "Conservative," nor even the stock "Conservative" ideas
put in their own words. It's as if they have a copy of the Wall Street
Journal in front of them when they're typing, so they can copy the
blather correctly.

Our thought for the day, a lesson from history:
Nazi support of Conservative Christianity is shown in this quote
of Heinrich Himmler, murderer of 6 million Jews and Gays:
"Christianity was and is the most outstanding protest of
the Aryans against Jewry, of good against evil."
--Heinrich Himmler, booklist note made in 1924 after
reading Ernest Renan's "Das Leben Jesu."
(Himmler believed Jesus was the illegitimate son of a
Roman Centurion, and therefore not Jewish, but Aryan.)

That's not an accusation, but a proved fact. State Republican Alberta
Darling, for example, has at least two laws she's having to revise
because they were so ill thought out -- the products of hysterical
over-reaction rooted entirely in emotion.
Tommy Thompson's "truth in sentencing" is another one. Just wait, and
remember there have been plenty of people warning about who will have
every right to say "we told you so."

Well no, WTMJ FM goes back to the
pre-WW-2 era and came back in the early 50's
on FM. It became I-94, WKTI in the early 70's.

WTMJ-FM was first, as W55M before WW2, but there was a "silent period"
when they gave up on FM for awhile.
The first Milwaukee-area FM station that's operated continuously is
WHAD 90.7, which dates back to 1948.

Our thought for the day, a lesson from history:
While mass murder and genocide expert Heinrich Himmler was a
devout Roman Catholic into his twenties, he became alienated
from the church by the 1930s. His complaint against the
Catholic Church was that it was allegedly run by homosexuals,
and that they were responsible for anti-female teachings and
practices in the church which were causing some German men to
adopt homosexual practices.

with this cleverly original name, "the bleeding-heart liberals", all by
her little self!
Ain't she special?!

This is prime: "a bigot and a Conservativephobe"!
I guess she should have added the term "Nancyphobe", implying a fear
that she might say something intelligent, or that one person with a
brain might actually listen to her babbling bullshit!
And I thought that I was the comedian!

A strange new PC phenomenon has emerged as of late.
If you don't like something, you are automatically labeled a
"whatever-it-is-you-don't-like-"PHOBE".
Makes it easy for people who with no thinking ability to find a snappy
come-back to an argument!

I guess you must be the only 95 year old loser who frequents this
newsgroup and remembers the last millenium!
Did you know any of the Roman Emperors personally?

Hey Disc, you're gonna have to do better with your answers or that anonymous
remailer isn't going to hide your identity very long!!!

Yup, started by the LIBERALS with the term "homophobe" for anyone who doesn't
embrace homosexuality with open arms.

Talk about a bigotted statement!!! Whew!!!
Also not terribly intelligent...as the North Side in the late 50's and early
60's was very heavily German......

Yeah 1964 was so LONG ago, probably 30 years before you were born.

Lady, I ain't even got the remotest clue as to what you are babbling
about. What is "Disc", some back ailment?
I just noticed how your Know-It-All posts to almost every thread are
pretty irritating.
You're really full of yourself, aren't you. Do you collect your own
autograph? Do you have a bunch of pictures of yourself? You seem like
the type, "better than everybody else". You must feel as though you
grace us all with your presence here.
How do you view your monitor with your nose in the air like that?
Suggestion; try strapping your monitor to the ceiling, if it's not
already there.

Actually, it's a little further down than the back....right around the
buttcrack.
Nice try though Disc...this line gave you away (other than your relentless
attempts at annoying me and only me on this ng....)

You've said this many times before!
Hey...where'd you get the anonymous remailer Disc? I'd like to look into
getting one so I can sign on as DHof...@Tootsie.com

Cybernanc so full of herself, she thinks that people here like her so
much that anyone who thinks she's "irritating" is "Disc"!
Must be?!

Hey Dipstick, changing your name every other day doesn't hide the fact that you
are still Disc and still are harrassing me. I'm really flattered that you
can't get me off your mind, but save yourself the trouble. Nobody else in
interested and least of all ME!
Have a GREAT day!!!

>Will, I told ya that old chick sucked! She could use a good spanking!
Nobody is interested in your sex life Disc...give it a rest.
Having friends in high places at Execpc really pays off! ;-)

Our thought for the day, a lesson from history:
"All members of the SS and police must be in the forefront of
the fight to eliminate homosexuality from the German people."
