The sound of the state

Wisconsin Public Radio grew out of university experiments in Madison before 1920, and its station WHA calls itself one of the oldest in the nation. Minneapolis radio, Chicago radio and jazz radio go further.

Wisconsin keeps Central time — six hours behind UTC in winter and five in summer.
