We've Moved!

We are excited to announce that the WOMT Radio blog has moved to a brand-new location in the blogosphere!

You can now find us at www.womtradio.wordpress.com.

WOMT Social Media Updates

Welcome to the brand-new year!  It's already January 18th, so hopefully you're settling into 2012 and enjoying it.  There's finally some snow sticking around; we'll let you decide if that's a good thing or not!

We at WOMT would like to let you know that in the next several weeks, you can expect some exciting new changes to our social media presence!  We will be updating the look of our blog, and will be utilizing the blog several times a week to provide you with goings on at the station and within the community, news from our clients, and even giveaways from time to time.  We will also be re-establishing the Facebook Frenzies, with an all-new format.

We hope that you're as excited as we are about these changes!

Now, you tell us:
What's your most and/or least favorite thing about winter?

Fall News and Updates

With fall well underway, there is lots of news around the station and the community!

We would like to congratulate the Milwaukee Brewers for winning the NL Central Division and making the playoffs for the first time in nearly three decades!  Follow the Brewers throughout the entire post-season on WOMT Radio.

Remember, WOMT's all-new sports show, Sports Talk, takes place live every Monday evening beginning a 6:25.  Stop out to Wenzel's Perfect World on Calumet Avenue every Monday night to watch live and participate with our announcers and exciting guests.  If you can't make it to see the show in person, listeners can also call in live with their questions or comments at 682-4674.  Fans can also download previous episodes from our online archives at www.womtsporstalk.com, and topics and guests can be found on the website as well.  If you're on Facebook, become a fan of Sports Talk to stay up to date with fun facts and trivia, and hear about news and updates.

Sports Talk is excited to announce that they have partnered with NEW Coaches to put together your exclusive opportunity to travel in style for a true sports-lovers experience!  This trip will include round trip transportation from Manitowoc, three nights of quality lodging, refreshments on the bus, and four days worth of fantastic stops along the way!  Some of the places on the itinerary will include the NFL Hall of Fame and the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame, and may include tickets to either a baseball or football game or even a behind the scenes tour of Miller Park!  In between the fun stops, we will dine at famous sports eateries along the way.  There are only 50 seats available, so don't hesitate to sign up ~ a $100.00 deposit will reserve your spot on the list!  Sports Talk fans will even have the opportunity to win a pair of seats on the bus.  Each Monday evening, fans can enter the contest live during the broadcast of Sports Talk at Wenzels, and on the first Monday of each month one person will be chosen from the previous month's entries to be a contest finalist.  After we have our 8 finalists, one very lucky person will be chosen!  Dates and details are still being finalized.

Manitowoc Symphony Orchestra Community Chorus Announces Auditions

The Manitowoc Symphony Orchestra announces auditions for membership in its Community Chorus, directed by Jennifer Kasten. Auditions will take place in the Choir Room at First Presbyterian Church, 502 North Eighth Street, Manitowoc, on Tuesday, September 6. Interested singers can call (920) 860-6306 to schedule an audition time between 7:00 and 10:00 p.m. A prepared selection is not required. Instead, singers will be asked to sing simple vocal exercises and the patriotic song America the Beautiful to demonstrate their range and vocal quality.

Upcoming events for the Community Chorus include an appearance on the MSO’s October 29^th HALLOWEEN SPOOKTACULAR and the annual holiday performance of Handel’s Messiah on Sunday, December 11^th. Because of space limitations at the performance venue, the choir for Messiah is limited to the participation of only 40 to 50 singers. A larger group will be used for the SPOOKTACULAR and for other events later in the season that are still inn the planning stage. The chorus rehearses at the Capitol Civic Centre every other Tuesday evening from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m., starting September 13.
