      This page lists all those known to have been Presenters at the annual Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) Awards Show in Milwaukee. Presenters read the names of the Nominees in a specific Category and/or open the sealed envelope from the Judges, announce the Winner, and Present the Award to the Winner. If there are two Presenters for an Award, one reads the Nominees and the other Presents the Award.

          The 2004 list of Presenters was available on the WAMI Web site. The 2008 list of Presenters only existed on the printed show script pages posted in the back stage area of the 2008 Awards Show. No other list of Presenters for any other Awards Show is known to exist.
