WOMT 100: A Century of Live, Local Radio in Manitowoc

100 years ago, WOMT Radio was founded by pioneers of Wisconsin broadcasting, Francis and Lillian Kadow, and originally broadcast from the Second Floor of the Mikadow Theatre on Washington Street. Today, WOMT Radio is owned and operated by Seehafer Broadcasting, a third-generation family broadcast company led by President Mark Seehafer and Vice President Terry Stevenson. As one of the oldest radio stations in Wisconsin, WOMT Radio has served as a trusted voice for news, sports, community information and entertainment for generations.

To honor and celebrate this century-long legacy, WOMT partner with Manitowoc Public Library to present a rare exhibition of radios spanning decades from the private collection of Manitowoc resident, Steve Kanter, to our community from Monday, April 20, through Saturday, May 30. This Historic Radio Showcase will be on display on MPL's First Floor, situated near the Main Service Desk.

More pieces of interesting, obscure WOMT ephemera is certain to be added as the exhibition nears, so check back to see what's been added to the display!
