WMMR is a
rock radio station in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, broadcasting at 93.3 MHz
FM. The station is owned by
Greater Media.
Philadelphia's radio market is ranked the seventh largest in the United States by Arbitron's ranking system, and WMMR was the leading rock format station in the market, with a market share of 4.9, in August 2008.[1]
WMMR's transmitter is located atop One Liberty Place, the second tallest skyscraper in Philadelphia which allows WMMR's signal to stretch from Lancaster County, PA to Ocean County, NJ.
WMMR's tag line, which appears on station advertising and is mentioned periodically by station DJs, is "93.3 WMMR Everything That Rocks" and, sometimes, "Philly's First Rock Station", or "MMR Rocks". In the past they have used "WMMR, the home of rock and roll." as well as "MMR Means More Rock!" They used to go by the slogan "The Big Murmur in the Heartbeat of Philadelphia.". In the 1970s, during its early years as a free form "progressive rock" station the dominant slogan was simply "At 93 point 3 FM, You're listening to WMMR, Philadelphia...The Radio Station." Vintage station IDs with "The Radio Station" slogan can still be heard from time to time on WMMR. This series, along with the overnight hours of programmed music known as "OPUS" (2 a.m. - 6 a.m.), was produced by then Production Director, Paul Messing.
