WMTS-FM is the student-run radio station at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. It operates at a frequency of 88.3 MHz. The station features several different formats of music, with an emphasis on independent music acts. It is somewhat similar to Nashville's WRVU (heard in much of WMTS' listening area also) in those respects.
Mission statement
WMTS provides Middle Tennessee State University and the Murfreesboro community with alternative music, news, and public affairs programming. Since WMTS is paid for and operated by the students of MTSU, the station has two main purposes:
1) To provide informational, cultural and alternative music programming to Middle Tennessee.
