WRMC-FM is the student-run radio station at Middlebury College at 91.1 MHz. WRMC broadcasts a variety of content types, including talk, news, and radio drama, though the vast majority of the schedule is music, including rock, hip-hop, world, folk, jazz, and others. Shows are produced largely by student DJ's, though staff, faculty, and other members of the college and town community occasionally do a show. Each show lasts from one to two hours and generally airs once a week. WRMC airs a reduced schedule during the summer, which includes shows produced by each of Middlebury College's summer language schools, broadcast entirely in the language of that school. The station also produces an annual music festival, called Sepomana. Alumni of the radio station include award-winning journalist Frank Sesno and Vermont Governor Jim Douglas.
