WOMR (92.1 FM) is a public broadcasting community radio station based in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Its call sign stands for "Outermost Radio". It started broadcasting in 1982 on 91.9 MHz, switching to 92.1 in 1995 to gain a power boost from 1 kilowatt to 6 kilowatt, allowing it to reach as far away as Plymouth and the South Shore. In 2010, WOMR installed a second transmitter in Orleans, under the call sign WFMR (Furthermost Radio), which transmits on 91.3 MHz. WFMR rebroadcasts programming generated for WOMR.
WOMR began transmitting on 91.9 MHz on March 21, 1982, with an announcement about the station beginning normal programming the next day. The idea was formed 6 years prior when the station’s founder, Provincetown resident Mark Primack, read an article in Mother Jones magazine about how to start a radio station. [1] WOMR’s effective radiated power was increased in November 1995 from 1 to 6 kilowatts. In 2009, executive director Dave Myers stepped down for health reasons. [4]
The station broadcasts 24 hours a day, most of it produced by 80 to 100 volunteers and three full-time staff members. DJs program music that includes folk, blues, classical, Americana, country, oldies, punk, funk, rock, jazz, indie pop, soul, Celtic, bluegrass, Dixieland, reggae, and other forms of world music. In October 2009, WOMR replaced its analog transmitter with a digital/analog model. Spoken word programs offer local-interest interviews and information about the arts, politics, food, the environment, and wellness. The station also broadcasts some nationally syndicated spoken-word content. With an emergency backup system, WOMR can stay on the air in power outages, bringing vital information to the Cape and South Shore communities. The station sponsors a number of local events and nonprofits throughout the year.
WOMR partners with local Cape Cod communities and community organizations, joining festivals and events across Cape Cod, occasionally with live remote broadcasts. The station often partners with the Payomet Performing Arts Center in Truro and with Wellfleet Preservation Hall to produce concerts and film events.
From 2011 to 2015, film director Alan Chebot produced Outermost Radio , a film about the diversity of the station's programmers, and the challenges the station faced in 2012 when their main antenna toppled and needed to be replaced.
