LIVE: 91.7 WSUM

In 2001, the Federal Communications Commission agreed to a radio tower to be built in the town of Montrose in southern Dane County. The proposal was met with contention from local citizens of Montrose, but after a lengthy legal battle, the tower was constructed and terrestrial broadcasting of WSUM began on February 22, 2002.

Michel Foucault: The Damage Done
"...People have argued that we live in a post-truth society....But you know there is no such thing actually as post-truth thinking. Truth is fundamental to to the idea of thought...So if you if you discard truth, there is nothing left except the pursuit of power...And I think this is one thing that university students have to confront in the humanities: this idea that truth is somehow how marginal or negotiable--that there isn't an absolute standard..." -- Sir Roger Scruton with Douglas Murray
