In 1998, WMTU began broadcasting via RealAudio, utilizing a Helix server located in the basement of Michigan Tech's Electrical Engineering Resources Center (EERC).

Later that year, the station returned to its original location in the basement of Wadsworth hall, now sporting a new "storefront" look to its DJ booth along with nearly triple the music storage space.

All DJs are unpaid volunteers and are able to play anything that they would like to during their show provided that the material complies with the rules of Michigan Technological University and the FCC.

Past performers have included Frontier Ruckus, Low, Chris Bathgate, Beep Beep, Deastro, Canada, Fred Thomas, SAH, Matt Jones, Misty Lyn, the Mahonies, Annie Palmer, Terrible Twos, Santa and Rudolph, Charlie Slick, the Betamales, Sycamore Smith, the Mighty Narwhale, Anarkinda, This is Deer Country, The Photographers, Cotton Jones, Drink Up Buttercup, The Daredevil Christopher Wright, Bear Claw, John the Savage, Honda Civic, Millions of Brazilians, and Electric Six.
