WRIT-FM

WRIT-FM (95.7 MHz "BIG FM") is a radio station in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. It carries a classic hits format, switching to Christmas music for much of November and December. The rest of the year, WRIT focuses on hits from the 1980s and 1990s, along with a few '60s, '70s and early 2000s titles. WRIT is used as an overflow for sports coverage when there are conflicts on co-owned sports radio station WRNW 97.3 with Wisconsin Badgers football and basketball or Green Bay Packers football.
