    @wmse I think race has little to do w/ it. It's just a matter of game promoters. All it takes is 1 or 2 to book more shows in any genre

  • WMSE:
    @RadioMilwaukee @Evanryt honest question: will conversation continue to other unrepresented genres? or is race central to the discussion.

    Zero Hour says goodbye to late night tonight 12-3 before the big move to Friday afternoons starting 2/12. 91.7 in Milwaukee or wmse.org.

    RT (via @pablo472) MCTS or full MCITP? - I'd be interested in finding out as well what the typical track is?

    @DilbertDave Just out of interest, what exam are you taking? Is it the MCTS or the full MCITP?

Some Milwaukee bands are really going places. The Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) has partnered with 91.7 FM WMSE for a pretty revolutionary project. Beginning Wednesday, public transit commuters will be privy to live, local band footage via the Transit TV network on the MCTS buses.

It's like Milwaukee's own mobile MTV, if MTV still played music videos.

Bands such as Paul Cebar Tomorrow Sound, Desert Sound Ensemble, El Gordo, Rusty P's, The Barrettes, Lisa Gatewood, The Trusty Knife, Robert Allen Jr. Trio and Mike Mangione get nine two-minute spots on 340 MCTS buses.

WMSE took studio footage from its weekly Local / Live show each Tuesday at 8 p.m. It partnered with Civilian Edit, a film, video and audio production house in the Third Ward, to produce music videos for the buses.

"We've been presenting local artists performing live in our studio for eight years now," said WMSE Station Manager Tom Crawford. "We're thrilled that not only can the public get a glimpse of what happens behind the scenes with our new video component, but that MCTS will be presenting some of the best performances to their riders, who might not be aware of this resource. It's a really great opportunity for Milwaukee artists to be seen and heard."

Perhaps the coolest part about the launch is that it's going national. These Milwaukee-made spots will also air on bus lines in Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles and Orlando (and there's a lot of people riding in those cities). A program like this has never been done before on a major public transit system.

This is an outstanding idea! I don't know who approached who, but Crawford deserves a tip of the hat for, once again, outdoing himself in promoting local music. Thanks Tom!
