HistoryWhen WORT's founders got together in the earlier 1970's, they had no idea their notion of a small community-controlled radio station would, thirty years later, be a major fixture on the dial for all of south-central Wisconsin. Back Porch Radio Broadcasting, Inc. was incorporated in 1973, and at 8:00 pm on December 1st, 1975 went on the air with 4000 watts of power from a small studio on Madison's eastside. However, three days later the transmitter burned up and the station was down to 50 watts.Today WORT has its own building, and serves about 30,000 listeners with 2000 watts of power and a strong signal over a 50 mile radius. WORT has kept many of the ideas of its founders alive and strong through a commitment to diversity and access. WORT's mission statement calls on the station to challenge the intellectual and cultural assumptions of its listeners and provide a voice for those under-represented by other media. |
