The Marquette Wire was formed in 2014,[2] the first time in the school's history that individual publication and broadcast outlets have united under one parent organization.

The Wire's executive director and managers are hired by the school's Board of Student Media, while the rest of positions are filled internally.

The management team for the current academic year is as follows: For a list of past directors, see the individual outlet pages.

The Marquette Wire is based on the second floor of Johnston Hall, home of the Diederich College of Communication.

[6] The Wire is now housed in that new center, which included an updated newsroom, a new radio booth, a new control room for the television station, improved offices, and a virtual reality green screen studio with a state-of-the art robotic camera and software for television broadcasts.

The Marquette Wire was originally housed in the basement of Johnston Hall, where the newsroom, radio booth, and some offices were located.

In 2006, the college began executing plans to converge all outlets of Student Media into a single location, instead of being spread all over the building.

When Dr. John Pauly, formerly Dean of the College of Communication, was promoted to the position of university provost in April 2008, convergence plans came to a halt.

The broadcasting outlets of Marquette Student Media (MUTV and MUR) did not move to the basement of Johnston Hall as originally intended.

Beginning October 1, 2013, the station released a new logo and officially dropped the call letters WMUR to distance itself from terrestrial broadcasting.

Artists apply to the event in December and anywhere between five and ten acts are selected to perform in front of a panel of judges and an audience.

Past headliners for Spring Concert include Twenty One Pilots, Machine Gun Kelly, Knox Fortune, The Districts, and Ric Wilson.

Kenneth Shuler, a former engineer, helped make MUTV possible by running the campus cable system.

[11] The college keeps the memories of Ken, Bob, and George alive through annual scholarships awarded to creative and innovative broadcasting students.

In the late 1970s, live remotes were done from the Helfaer Sports complex, Wilson Park ice arena, and in front of LaLumiere Hall, the school's dedicated languages building.

A remote fly-pack was built at the start of the 2006–2007 school year, utilizing equipment replaced during that summer's digital upgrade.

Video is sent to Johnston Hall over a network of fiber optic converters placed in key buildings on the Marquette campus.
