WOMM-LP (105.9 FM) was a federally licensed, low-power, non-commercial community radio station based in Burlington, Vermont. WOMM featured a variety of formatted shows driven by the on-air personalities who staff the station. It used the slogan "The Radiator, Burlington's community radio station broadcasting with 100 watts of fury."
