About SEMM Foundation
SEMM
Foundation offers private and group music lessons to students
of all ages and levels,
including free private vocal and instrumental music lessons to underprivileged children.
Over the past several years, SEMM Foundation was responsible for providing programming,
operating and media services, as well
as for the successful development and implementation
of a jazz radio format for a local, separately owned community radio station.
In November
2013, SEMM Foundation applied to the FCC for a separate 24 hour broadcast
license to serve the Columbus and
surrounding communities.
On October 10, 2014, the FCC granted a construction permit to SEMM Foundation to build
the new 98.5 FM station to serve the Columbus area. On January 12, 2017, the FCC granted SEMM Foundation a license to broadcast as the new
98.5 FM station to serve the Columbus area. SEMM Foundation has also received its authorization to digitally broadcast via the Internet
as WSAX-DB.
