Appalshop Radio station WMMT-FM

WMMT's programming is as diverse as its listenership, but we are particularly proud of our commitment to traditional Appalachian music and its descendant, bluegrass music. But we also have killer rock & roll shows, Americana, Celtic, Kids Radio, jazz, blues, big band, gospel, hip-hop, ska, punk, zydeco, Rockin' Marvin and a world class trivia show. But WMMT is not just a great music station. We are also dedicated to providing a forum for discussions on issues of vital interest to our entire region and the world. We do this with our weekly Mountain Talk, a call-in show with in-studio guests that covers the gamut of issues and events. We also go into communities and broadcast on a variety of issues, including candidate forums, forestry, strip mining, toxic waste, and others. 88.7 has produced nationally distributed series on Appalachian women writers, South African music, pioneering women in country music, forestry, and diabetes. Our weekly Coal Report and the three-times-a-week Regional Roundup are capsules we produce to try to shed light on life in these here hills.
