Mount Radio History

In 1942, a group of students who had dabbled in short wave radio founded the Mount's first radio club.  In the 1950s a radio station went on the air broadcasting only on campus.  In 1963, the FCC granted the Mount a license to broadcast on the AM band.

In the 1970s, MSM switched to the FM band, broadcasting at our current frequency (89.9), with 10 watts of power.  In the 1980s our signal was strengthened to 100 watts.  We currently have a signal strenth around 130 watts.

In 2001, WMTB Emmitsburg went global via the use of the internet (www.msmary.edu/wmtb).  Now everyone in the world with access to the internet is able to listen live!
