A Back in Time: WEMU


rt Timko (BA68, MA71), above left, joined WEMU fresh out of graduate


school in 1971. At the time, the station of- fered classical and easy listening music to an audience limited to 10 miles around the station, for only two hours per day. Since his arrival, Timko has taken part


in big changes both for himself and for the station. WEMU’s tenth year of broadcasting,


1975, brought some major, but short-lived, alterations. Having established a 20-hour broadcast schedule the previous year, the station changed its name to STEREO 88 (and later changed it back). The move from Quirk to King Hall, however, stuck; the station still broadcasts from that location. WEMU’s success exploded in 1977


with a power increase from 10 watts, even- tually augmented to 16,000 directional. That same year, the station claimed its 89.1 spot on the dial as it became an


official member of National Public Radio. After surveying local residents’ musical interests, WEMU’s music repertoire was converted to all jazz. A 324-foot broadcast tower was erected


in Washtenaw County in 1992, allowing the station to broadcast as far away as Ohio and Canada. When Timko took over as station man-


ager, he envisioned—and helped create— what is now EMU’s mass communications curriculum, including WEMU radio, the University’s Television Unit, journalism and even the Eastern Echo. After almost 40 years of riding the


sound waves, Timko retired from the sta- tion Dec. 22. “I hope WEMU will always be able to


serve Washtenaw County,” Timko says. “I hope we’ll always be able to provide the services that people want.”
