To all Wisconsinites!

I came across a left wing radio station 97.9. Give it a listen if you can pick it up in your part of the state. More importantly, tell your friends, the more listeners, the better the station broadcast range gets.

and then send the information on a card or letter or emaill to the station in the biz this is called qsling.The term “QSL” comes from the international Q code and means “I confirm receipt of your transmission”. A QSL card is therefore a written confirmation. The sending of QSL cards dates back to the 1920s when AM radio broadcasts were still a novelty and stations wanted to know how far away they were being received.

They gave now front running, white supremacy aligned, anti-CRT, public school privatizer Paul Vallas, a supposed Democrat, a platform to denounce the city administration.

Civic Media Network has been buying up AM and FM stations across Wisconsin and last time I looked has nearly 20 stations in its network, covering most of Wisconsin. Lots of locally and statewide produced talk shows are on the schedules but a healthy variety of other programming including sports, local music and humor, plus hourly news from its own news staff plus CBS News. Very slick and pretty entertaining. Plus, these commercially operated stations are online and you can catch up on shows via podcast. Here is a list of stations, at the Civic Media.US website:
