from the director Wisconsin Public Radio continues to be a steward of “the Wisconsin Idea” by extending the boundaries of the university to the boundaries of the state — and beyond. WPR serves as Wisconsin’s largest classroom, drawing on a pool of experts from both inside and outside the UW System to further the concept of informal “lifelong learning.”
Our managers and staff work together to ensure that the people of Wisconsin have access to the finest informational, educational, cultural, and musical programming. More than 420,000 listeners tune in every week to connect to newsmakers and lawmakers, authors and educators, artists and activists, through:
Our Ideas Network 18 stations that present hour-long, Phil Corriveau in-depth discussions on the news of the day and the issues of our time.
Our NPR News & Classical Music Network 11 stations that provide a mix of long-form classical music programming and the award-winning newsmagazines from National Public Radio such as Morning Edition, All Things Considered, and Weekend Edition.
Our new HD2 Classical Music Service Digital, high-definition radio is revolutionizing how Wisconsinites listen to radio. With HD radio receivers, listeners hear distortion- and static-free programs. And listeners can enjoy classical music 24/7 on our new third service in Madison, Milwaukee, and Green Bay.
Our web-based Services Listeners can access New Media services through our website, wpr.org, to listen live, hear archived programs, or download programs for later listening on their computers or MP3 players.
Each year, we at Wisconsin Public Radio evaluate our programming, implement new technologies, and work with our partners in Wisconsin and Washington, D.C., to improve service to listeners. In this annual report you’ll read about people, programs, community outreach activities, and new projects. We thank our partners (the Wisconsin Educational Communications Board, the University of Wisconsin – Extension, and the Wisconsin Public Radio Association) along with our listeners in Wisconsin and around the country who support our efforts and keep us strong.
-Phil Phil Corriveau Director
the people In 2007, we filled several critical positions in engineering, administration, and programming, and we said goodbye to old friends who left Wisconsin Public Radio for new opportunities:
Early in the year, Terry Baun was named Director of Engineering and Operations for the Educational Communications Board. Terry oversees the technical support activities and delivery infrastructure for Wisconsin Public Radio and Television. The 35 engineers on his staff also maintain NOAA weather radio throughout Wisconsin, the statewide Emergency Alert System, and the Amber Alert System. Terry replaced Denny Behr, who retired after 33 years of service to public broadcasting in Wisconsin.
Executive Director Wendy Wink left the ECB in June to assume the position of Deputy Secretary of Revenue. Wendy served Wisconsin public broadcasting with distinction in a number of roles. She was ECB Executive Director, WPR Associate Director, WPR Development Director, ECB Deputy Director, and Associate Chancellor of UW- Extension. Gene Purcell serves as the Interim Director of ECB until the search for a permanent director is completed.
In the fall, Sheryl Gasser was promoted to Director of Talk Programming. She is now responsible for the editorial content and quality control of all of our call-in programs on the Ideas Network. She supervises five on-air hosts, 12 talk producers, and a number of board operators. Sheryl started working at WPR in 1996 when she was hired as a Production Assistant. She then served as Talk Producer for seven years, working on news, public affairs, arts, and cultural programs. In 2004, she was named Assistant Director of Talk Programming.
After 17 years, La Crosse News Director Sandra Harris retired in November. As she put it, it was time to turn off Sheryl Gasser her recorder, unplug the microphone, and “spend more time golfing. A lot more time. ‘Til it snows.”
Then late in the year we hired Mike Crane as WPR’s new Associate Director/Chief Operating Officer. In this critically important position, Mike leads the 45-member programming staff of our statewide networks and our national programming service. He will be responsible for the overall sound of Wisconsin Public Radio. Mike has 24 years of public broadcasting management experience, most recently as Vice President for Programming at WMFE- TV and Radio in Orlando, Florida. Earlier in his career, he was Director of Broadcasting and New Media at Vermont Public Radio. Mike replaced Anders Yocom, who retired at the end of 2007. Mike Crane

the facilities WSSW-FM is the newest radio station in the Wisconsin Public Radio system, now serving residents in the Platteville area with the NPR News & Classical Music programming. The station went on the air on February 1, 2007. Residents east of the Platte Mound have always had clear reception of WPR’s classical music service from 88.7 WERN-FM / Madison. But because of the terrain, the mound created a ‘shadow’ area, so listeners to the west of the mound could not receive a good signal. WSSW-FM solves that problem. WPR engineers report that the new signal extends 25-30 miles from the transmitter site, reaching Platteville, Cuba City, Tennyson, Lancaster, Boscobel, Dodgeville, and Darlington.
Early in April 2007, we launched the new HD2 Classical Music Service. Listeners in Madison, Milwaukee, and Green Bay who have HD radios can tune in at home or in their cars for our commercial- free, 24/7 service (and listeners everywhere can access the same service on the internet at wpr.org). Wisconsin Public Radio’s classical music hosts are heard from 9:00 Steve Johnston, Director of Engineering a.m. to 3:00 p.m. weekdays, while and Operations for Wisconsin Public Radio new classical music programming is (l), and Pete Ives (r), Technical Services heard during other weekday hours Manager for the Wisconsin Educational and throughout the weekends. Communications Board, proudly show WPR established a Quality Control off the new WHAD HD-Radio transmitter Team in 2007 to work on tracking installed at the Delafield tower site. and solving technical, operational, and programmatic errors. Quality control was a top priority this year, because we want to do the best job we can for listeners by eliminating dead air, misfired IDs, announcer mistakes, volume level problems, and the like.
new media
We now provide nine live audio streams in three formats so we can serve everyone. Our live streaming averaged almost 140,000 hours of listening per month and the peak listenership grew by 5% in 2007 to almost 1000 listeners.
The use of WPR streaming archives continues to grow. We’re now seeing an average of 700,000 program listens every month. Finally, our Wcast member-only MP3 download feature continues to deliver an average of 3,500 downloads a month.
wpr news
With reporters in Madison, Milwaukee, Green Bay, Wausau, La Crosse, Eau Claire, and Superior, WPR News keeps listeners up to date on Wisconsin’s important issues and events. Our reporters filed 2,766 stories in 2007, anchored more than 4,100 state newscasts, and submitted 146 news stories for broadcast on National Public Radio.
But that’s not all. The reporters also created several series of reports, which gave listeners in-depth information on issues affecting Wisconsin residents:
Gil Halsted’s five-part “Prison Reentry” series aired in August. Gil looked at services in Wisconsin that are available to inmates to help them from returning to prison after they’re released. The difficult road inmates face was highlighted in the series’ last piece, in which Gil profiled a man who had been in and out of prison for much of the last 40 years.
Flooding in southwest Wisconsin in August dominated the attention of La Crosse’s news staff. They created dozens of local stories, provided updates on WPR newscasts and talk shows, and filed a dozen submissions to NPR. Steve Roisum filed 11 stories alone!
In December, WPR reporters collaborated on a ten- part series on Wisconsin’s working poor. It introduced listeners to several people who have jobs, yet still Gil Halsted find it difficult to feed their families, get health care, or find an affordable place to live. The series also looked at the effect Wisconsin’s “W2” welfare reform plan has had on people, more than ten years after it went into effect.
As the state budget talks dragged on from summer through fall, WPR state capitol reporter Shawn Johnson covered the debates and issues in newscasts, in feature stories, and on Monday mornings during Joy Cardin’s State Capitol Report.
Glen Moberg spent many hours in October covering the shootings in Crandon which left six young people dead and one critically injured. Although this is one of the most difficult and emotionally draining type of stories to cover, Glen traveled back and forth from our Wausau studios to talk with family members, eyewitnesses, clergy, and law enforcement officials in Crandon.
And throughout the year, WPR News provided coverage of major events including the Governor’s inaugural celebration, the State of the State Address, the State Budget Address, the Supreme Court race, election night updates, and passage of the state budget accord.

community outreach Wisconsin Public Radio provides listeners with easy access to staff through our seven bureaus. The Superior, Eau Claire, La Crosse, Wausau, Green Bay, Milwaukee, and Madison offices are home bases for reporting, corporate sponsorship, engineering, programming, and community outreach activities in the communities we serve.
Community outreach encompasses all activities where WPR staff members interact with listeners and the general public — from sponsored events to listener appreciation dinners to remote broadcasts. 2007 was an exemplary year for outreach efforts.
Superior Bureau In addition to Larry Meiller’s annual visit (2007 was the 5th year for his “Bayfield in Bloom” appearance) the bureau staff produced a number of regional programs, including:
• several candidate forums during the Superior Mayoral election • special broadcasts with the Tri-State Honors Concert Band and Tri-State Honors Jazz Band • live performances of the “Renegade Radio Larry Meiller in Bayfield Hour” (sketch comedy and music) in conjunction with the Home Grown Music Festival and in support of the Mentor Duluth program • the Howard Koch script of “War of the Worlds” as a radio drama broadcast on October 30
In addition, our student journalists once again took home more than a dozen awards from various organizations, including the Northwest Broadcast News Association, Wisconsin Broadcasters Association, and the Milwaukee Press Club. Besides all of these activities, the regional staff assisted at the annual Blueberry Festival in Iron River.
Eau Claire Bureau The annual Eau Claire Listener Appreciation Dinner on April 18 featured a keynote address by WPR announcer and historian Randall Davidson, “90 Years of Wisconsin Public Radio.” An audience of 40 friends enjoyed talks by Randall, Phil Corriveau, Mary Jo Wagner, Greg Pangallo, and Kathy Stahl.

Wausau staff members rounded out the year by welcoming Larry Meiller for a remote broadcast from Manitowish Waters in September.
Green Bay Bureau In August, Wisconsin Public Radio was a sponsor of the Door County Festival of the Arts in Ephraim. Besides hosting a booth to meet listeners, WPR occupied an additional booth and conducted a violin workshop where kids of all ages received an on-the- spot violin lesson by northeastern Regional Manager Lisa Nalbandian.
In March, Kaliweyo’se hosts Richie Pass and Chris Powless arranged to have four different drum groups perform live, creating violin workshop an all-star line-up of well-known drummers and singers from the pow-wow circuit. This multigenerational drum group performed live on the popular regional program, Kaliweyo’se. Kaliweyo’se is an Oneida word meaning “good messages.”

Listeners came from all over the state — as far away as Eau Claire, Gays Mills, Madison, Green Bay, and Door County — to meet and mingle.
12 music programming Our host-producers on the music side of our service created more than 40 hours of music programming each week. Jim Fleming, Norman Gilliland, Vicki Nonn, Lori Skelton, Ruthanne Bessman, Ilene Isenberg, and Stephanie Elkins presented classical music that soothed the bumps out of bad days. Tom Martin-Erickson selected favorite folk tunes that got toes tapping. And Jonathan Overby brought rhythm to the weekends by presenting music with African roots on Higher Ground.
In addition, WPR regularly presented programs that highlighted the talents of Wisconsin’s artists, young and old. Here’s just a sample of the special programming WPR brought to listeners on the NPR News & Classical Music Network in 2007:
In January, Lori Skelton and Kathy Bissen hosted our live broadcast of the Madison Symphony Orchestra’s Youth Concerto competition at Madison’s Overture Hall, and we co-produced and carried the final round of the Madison Symphony Orchestra’s annual Bolz Young Artist Competition.
In April, Sunday Afternoon Live from the Chazen featured the winners of WPR’s annual Neale- Silva Young Artists Competition. This year’s winners hailed from Appleton, Baraboo, Madison, Milwaukee, and Oregon. Both competitions encourage young persons’ appreciation and performance of classical music.
Then, in May, Tom Martin-Erickson recorded the 40th Anniversary Concert of the Coffeehouse in Milwaukee for later broadcast on Simply Folk. Each act performed one song from the ‘60s, Lori Skelton which created quite a nostalgic evening. Tom also traveled north to record the Wisconsin Singer-Songwriter Concert at the Lake Superior Big Top Chautauqua in June.
WPR recorded five concerts at the Green Lake Festival of Music. That same summer, we recorded two of the Peninsula Music Festival concerts, with guest soloists Jason Vieaux, guitar, and Frank Almond, violin. The performances were then broadcast on Music from Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin School Music Association’s “High School Honors Concerts” aired on Thanksgiving Day. Performances featured orchestra, mixed choir, band, and treble choir.
WPR recorded the Madison Opera production of “La Boheme” and broadcast it on December 1.
13 ideas network On the Ideas Network, Joy Cardin, Kathleen Dunn, Larry Meiller, Jean Feraca, Ben Merens, and their producers created more than 2,450 hours of conversations with guest experts in 2007. Topics ran the gamut: elections, the economy, war in the Middle East, education, consumer issues, health care, science, the environment, and more.
The Ideas Network also provided listeners with other special programs and series in 2007. Among the highlights:
In January, Crashing the Ether hit the ether. WPR producers Veronica Rueckert and Doug Gordon created this special to explore what’s new and notable in the cultural bubble in which we live. The program highlighted and reviewed music, videos, technology, literature, comics, film, and comedy.
In March, WPR broadcast a We the People/Wisconsin Supreme Court debate between Washington County Circuit Court Judge Annette Ziegler and Madison attorney Linda Clifford. Immediately preceding the debate, citizens from across the state took part in a town-hall meeting. During the meeting, they identified and prioritized the issues they wanted the high court candidates to address. We the People/Wisconsin is a multi-media partnership that aims to reconnect citizens with public life through town-hall meetings, candidate forums, and citizen-based reporting. The coalition includes the Wisconsin State Journal, Wisconsin Public Television, Wisconsin Public Radio, WISC-TV / Madison, WisPolitics, and Wood Communications Group.
WPR and University Theatre in Madison collaborated to produce the October 13 live broadcast of David Mamet’s play “The Water Engine” during Old Time Radio Drama. The play has a strong WPR connection because Mamet wrote it in 1977 on a commission from Karl Schmidt for the Earplay series, which aired statewide and nationwide back in the ‘70s and ‘80s.
The War Project, an hour-long program featuring Wisconsin high-school students interviewing World War II veterans about their recollections, aired on Veterans Day. Joe Hardtke served as executive producer of this program, which was done as a special educational project in conjunction with the Educational Communications Board, prompted in part by the Ken Burns’ public television series, “The War.” Norman Gilliland in The Water Engine
14 wpr reaching the nation In 2007, our four nationally syndicated programs continued to bring the expertise of Wisconsinites to public radio listeners coast to coast:
Last year Calling All Pets was picked up by stations in Seattle, Washington D.C., Dallas, Fort Myers, and two networks in Virginia (a total of 21 stations). The national audience is at an all-time high: 187,000 pet lovers listen every week on 112 stations.
Tom Clark and Dr. Zorba Paster are on a roll, too. The national audience is up 7% over last year. Zorba Paster On Your Health is carried by 74 stations and is heard by 141,000 fans coast-to-coast each week.
Among our national productions, Michael Feldman’s Whad’ Ya Know? continues to reach the largest audience (over one-million listeners each week on nearly 300 stations). Michael and the production staff continued to reach out to audiences this year with road show trips to Fairbanks, AK; Erie, PA; Huntsville, AL; Charleston, SC; Oxford, MS; Columbia, MO; State College, PA; Canton, OH; Sheboygan, WI; Louisville, KY; Little Rock, AR; Jacksonville, FL; and Clemson, SC.
To The Best of Our Knowledge airs Saturday and Sunday mornings on the NPR News & Classical Music Network and on Sunday afternoons on our Ideas Network stations. But it is also broadcast on 135 other public radio stations across the country. Major markets include Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco, St. Louis, Atlanta, and San Antonio. The big project of the year was our five-part series, “East Meets West,” which examined the cultural interactions between the East (Asia and the Middle East) and the West (America and Europe). Among the questions we asked: What happens when these cultures collide? How do ideas and cultural traditions cross-pollinate as they move from one culture to another? How has Western culture been influenced by Asian and Islamic artists, philosophers and religious thinkers?
