I’m on-a Madison radio …

Actually, I will be on a lot of radio the next two days.

Friday shortly after 8 a.m., I will be on Wisconsin Public Radio discussing, oh, whatever came up this week during the Joy Cardin Show Week in Review.

Wisconsin Public Radio’s Ideas Network can be heard on WHA (970 AM) in Madison, WLBL (930 AM) in Auburndale, WHID (88.1 FM) in Green Bay, WHWC (88.3 FM) in Menomonie, WRFW (88.7 FM) in River Falls, WEPS (88.9 FM) in Elgin, Ill., WHAA (89.1 FM) in Adams, WHBM (90.3 FM) in Park Falls, WHLA (90.3 FM) in La Crosse, WRST (90.3 FM) in Oshkosh, WHAD (90.7 FM) in Delafield, W215AQ (90.9 FM) in Middleton, KUWS (91.3 FM) in Superior, WHHI (91.3 FM) in Highland, WSHS (91.7 FM) in Sheboygan, WHDI (91.9 FM) in Sister Bay, WLBL (91.9 FM) in Wausau, W275AF (102.9 FM) in Ashland, W300BM (107.9 FM) in Madison, and of course online at www.wpr.org.

Eleven hours later, I will be broadcasting the Platteville–Dodgeville football game on WPVL (1590 AM) and on http://www.theespndoubleteam.com. An entertaining game is expected because (1) the first meeting between the two teams ended 48–45, a Super Bowl-length game thanks to much passing and a lightning delay, and (2) as with the first meeting, severe weather is in the forecast. I’ve already done a baseball game during a tornado warning this year, so maybe I’ll get a second chance at discussing green skies.

Twenty hours after that, I will be making my sideline reporting debut on the UW–Platteville Homecoming football game against UW–Eau Claire at 3 p.m., again on WPVL and http://www.theespndoubleteam.com.

    I heard you say on Joy Cardin that premiums would sky rocket for individuals who sign up under the exchanges provided by the ACA. Really? Nothing has suggested that. Fox News talking heads don’t count. I do hope you enjoy the football game. I once did a call on a HS football game in Florida. The linebacker name was Sky Rocket.

    […] I’m announcing football tonight — a must-win for Platteville at Dodgeville (the first meeting: Dodgeville 48, Platteville 45) — and Saturday afternoon — UW–Platteville against UW–Eau Claire from the sidelines at http://www.theespndoubleteam.com. (But you knew that.) […]

    Mr. Prestegard, I heard you this morning on Joy Cardin’s show. I often tune in when you are on the air to hear your perspective. I would like to make a comment, however, on your observation about NOAA and commercial weather stations and websites. The Weather Channel and the vast majority of meteorologists across the U.S. depend greatly upon NOAA and its National Weather Service for their products. If there was no national weather service, our country would be reduced to local or “in staton” radar, essentially a very backwards step. Our ability to forecast national weather events like Hurricane Sandy would be impossible without the pooled resources of our nation as a whole (as well as international cooperation); lives are saved in the wake of severe weather events because the non-profit public and for-profit sectors work together. To suggest that our weather services could or should shift to the for profit sector ignores the real and necessary – and irreplaceable -role that our taxpayer funded national weather service plays in our national well being. Thank you.
