7421 W. National Ave.
West Allis, WI
(414) 302-8500
Randall Davidson will be speaking at the West Allis Public Library about his book 9XM Talking: WHA Radio and the Wisconsin Idea.
In his book, Davidson provides the first comprehensive history of the University of Wisconsin radio station, WHA; affiliated state-owned station, WLBL; and the postWorld War II FM stations that were the backbone of the network now known as Wisconsin Public Radio. 9XM Talking describes how, with homemade equipment and ideas developed from scratch, 9XM endured many struggles and became a tangible example of "the Wisconsin Idea," bringing the educational riches of the university to all the state's residents. From the beginning, those involved with the radio station felt it should provide a service for the practical use of Wisconsin citizens.
