WMOK's Coffee Break Program: A Community Staple

For decades, WMOK’s Coffee Break program has been a staple of the Metropolis and Massac County morning radio landscape. This community affairs program, hosted by Kim Comer, has been a vital platform for local officials, community leaders, and others to share important information and discuss topics that matter most to residents.

Through thoughtful conversations and in-depth interviews, Coffee Break has established itself as a trusted source of news and information, covering a wide range of subjects that impact Metropolis and Massac County.

From updates on local projects and initiatives to discussions on key issues and concerns; Coffee Break is a must-listen for Metropolis and Massac County residents.

Tune in to WMOK’s Coffee Break program to stay informed, connected, and up-to-date on all that’s happening in our community!
