An effort to replace an aging radio tower on the southeastern edge of the UW Arboretum has some wondering about moving it out of the environmentally sensitive area altogether.
Last year, officials learned the WHA-AM tower, which broadcasts Wisconsin Public Radio throughout Dane County, is in an “unsafe and unreliable condition” due to internal corrosion. As a result, the state plans to build a new tower in the same vicinity, just south of Martin Street, and tear down the tower.
