love of water through education, arts and recreation. Their belief that we can
obtain a strong economy and a healthy environment with collaboration and action
is supported by businesses, members, community organizations and agencies who
work in the Cumberland River watershed also known as “the boot.” They ensure
the rivers and streams continuously provide clean water, healthy fish, generous
crops and recreational activities for the public.
About WMOT/Roots Radio
WMOT-FM 89.5, Middle Tennessee State University’s flagship
public radio station founded in 1969, made the biggest, boldest leap in its
history in September 2016 when it dedicated itself to an all Americana music
format. Branded as “Roots Radio,” the initiative is a partnership with the
music experts and on-air talent of Music City Roots, the Franklin-based weekly
variety show that reaches the nation on radio and public television. At last,
the Nashville region has a powerful radio station (100,000 watts) dedicated to
the music most deeply connected to Music City’s legacy: classic country music,
bluegrass, singer/songwriter, folk, soul, R&B and old-school rock ’n’ roll.
