WRMC-FM (91.1 FM) is the student-run radio station of Middlebury College. WRMC broadcasts a variety of content types, including talk, news, and radio drama, although 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, although staff, faculty, and other members of the college and town community contribute content on occasion. Most shows last from one to two hours and generally air 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.
WRMC has brought a plethora of musical acts to the Middlebury campus over the years, including Rilo Kiley, Yo La Tengo, The Decemberists, Ratatat, Mates of State, Smog, Tenacious D, The National, Clearlake, The French Kicks, Enon, The Books, and Andrew Bird, among others. Recently, WRMC's concert budget was severely cut by the administration.
The 2008 Sepomana lineup will feature Menomena, The Ruby Suns, and The Capstan Shafts.
