BEST LOCAL RADIO STATION

1st Place: WHYS
2nd Place: I have an iPod
3rd Place: B-95 Hot Country

WHYS Radio (96.3 FM) has done something that few are able to: create and maintain a truly local radio station. Not only that, their participation in community happenings, hosting and sponsorship of local shows, and creative events have made WHYS a truly appreciated local institution. For those of us who don’t really listen to the radio, the iPod (or comparable music apparatus) fills that gaping musical void that nearly everyone is born with. When you want your programming choice to be up to you and you alone, look no further than that miraculous technobox you carry around in your pocket. B-95 Hot Country supplies the valley with one of Wisconsin’s most desperately vital commodities: country music. It’s hard to get through a hard day’s work or a day floating down the river without a little guitar and a bit o’ twang. – Aryn Widule
