The Christian contemporary music scene in the Milwaukee area has seen a significant expansion with the acquisition of another station by the Appleton-based Family Radio Network. This latest addition marks the third Milwaukee-area station under the network's umbrella, further solidifying its presence in the region. The newly acquired FM translator signal W225CP, broadcasting at 92.9 FM, officially transitioned to Family Radio Network’s programming this week following the completion of the sale from Tomsun Media on February 28th. This strategic move enhances the network's reach and influence within Wisconsin's largest metropolitan area.
Family Radio Network has been actively growing its footprint across Wisconsin. In November, it acquired WJTI-AM (1460) along with its translator signal at 102.5 FM, subsequently rebranding the station as WEMK. This acquisition was part of a broader strategy to expand the network's offerings and provide listeners with more access points for their Christian contemporary content. The recent addition of 92.9 FM continues this trend, offering residents of the Milwaukee area yet another channel to enjoy the network's signature programming.
The network's growth is not limited to the Milwaukee market alone. Family Radio Network also operates several stations across Wisconsin, including its flagship WEMI-FM (91.9) in Appleton, WGNV-FM (88.5) in Wausau, WSTM-FM (91.3) in Kiel, WEMY-FM (91.5) in Green Bay, and WGNW-FM (99.9) in Eau Claire. Additionally, six translator stations contribute to the network's extensive coverage throughout the state. Each station plays an integral role in delivering high-quality Christian contemporary music to communities across Wisconsin.
This expansion underscores the network's commitment to serving the spiritual needs of listeners through uplifting and inspirational music. By adding more broadcast frequencies, Family Radio Network aims to make its content more accessible to a wider audience. The acquisition of 92.9 FM represents a strategic milestone in the network's ongoing mission to strengthen its presence in key markets while continuing to grow its statewide reach.
