WHSM Radio receives an international award from the Great Lakes Forest Fire Compact!!

On Tuesday, April 27th, 2010 WHSM Radio received a most prestigious award for our specially designed program called "Fire Watch" which airs on Magic 101 FM.  The purpose of this show is to make area listeners aware of the daily fire danger. Monday through Friday at 8:05am we talk "live" with representatives from the DNR and the US Forest Service about that days’ fire danger. The show is now in its tenth year on WHSM, Magic 101 FM.  About a year ago, Kim Lemke, of the Wisconsin DNR submitted the substance of the program in a written nomination to the Great Lakes Forest Fire Compact. This group represents Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan along with two Canadian Provinces....Manitoba and Ontario.

The goal of this oversight group is to steward relationships and share experience and expertise if and when forest and or wild fires hit. It is an amazing group of highly trained and dedicated people. They also look for businesses both large and small who step up to help them get the word out about the fire danger we all live with for several months each year.

WHSM Radio VP/GM, Don Welch along with staff members accepted the 2009 award.  WHSM is the only business in the state of Wisconsin to be recognized with the special Compact award.  Mr. Welch stated “Our station staff works hard to make the program informative and entertaining.”
