Beginning with the first broadcast by experimental station 9XM at the University of Wisconsin, followed by WHA, through the state-owned affiliate WLBL, to the network of stations that in the years following WWII formed the Wisconsin Public Radio network, Davidson describes how, with homemade equipment and ideas developed from scratch, public radio became a tangible example of the Wisconsin Idea, bringing the educational riches of the university to all the state's residents. Marking the centennial year of Wisconsin Public Radio, this paperback edition includes a new foreword by Bill Siemering, National Public Radio's founding director of programming. 517 3 $aNine XM talking 517 3 $aWHA Radio and the Wisconsin idea 606 $aPublic radio$zWisconsin$xHistory 606 $aEducational radio stations$zWisconsin$xHistory 615 0$aPublic radio$xHistory. 615 0$aEducational radio stations$xHistory. 676 $a384.5409775/83 700 $aDavidson$b Randall$f1959-$01805799 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960775903321 996 $a9XM talking$94354607 997 $aUNINA
