MOSINEE – Rick Reyer will discuss Wisconsin Public Radio at an upcoming History Speaks event.
This presentation, to be held at 7 p.m. May 17, 2018, at the Mosinee High School Creske Auditorium, 1000 High St., Mosinee, has been rescheduled after the April blizzard, and is part of the History Speaks in Your Town series presented by the Marathon County Historical Society and the Continuing Education office of UW-Marathon County.
Beginning with a short primer on the First Amendment, Reyer will explore the creation of Wisconsin Public Broadcasting, how it lives out The Wisconsin Idea, and its influence on the national scene.
Reyer began his career at Wisconsin Public Radio in 1989 in Green Bay as the first business development representative outside of Madison. After a stint in Madison in the early 1990s, Reyer opened the Wausau regional bureau at UW-Marathon County in 1995. As central regional manager, Rick oversees the operations of 10 WPR stations, covering all or part of 20 counties.
This talk is free and open to the public. Donations are appreciated. Registration is not required.
