WMRA Now Managing WEMC
On February 1, 2007, WMRA-FM, James Madison University's public radio station, assumed management of WEMC-FM, the public radio voice of EMU..
Both stations will broadcast from WMRA's studios on the corner of Reservoir Street and Cantrell Ave., with each station providing strong, distinctive programming to the greater Shenandoah Valley.
While the daily operations and financial needs of WEMC will be handled by WMRA management, EMU will retain the operating license for the station. Read more in the news ...

About WEMC
Founded by EMU in 1955 thanks to a donation from the class of 1954, WEMC is Virginia's first public radio station.
The studio was originally located in the balcony of Lehman Auditorium and later moved to Astral Hall, which had been an astronomy classroom. (The EMU telescope is still housed in the observatory next to Astral Hall.)
WEMC’s mission was always to provide music, news, and information to the local community that celebrates our many cultural backgrounds while providing knowledge and perspectives that look beyond the surface of today’s issues.
