Pack Meeting - Thursday March 10th - Radio Station Tour

Hi to all our families!

 

We apologize for the late details regarding our Pack Meeting this week on Thursday the 10th.  We have been working the last few weeks on the details around a visit to one of our local radio stations.  A number of our Cub Scouts have been to a TV station in the last few years, but how many have been to a radio station of the 21st century?  Our initial plan was to visit the studios of Wisconsin Public Radio but that didn't work out for a variety of reasons and we will be visiting the Clear Channel Radio stations on South Fish Hatchery Rd.  Here's the details:

 

Radio Station Tour - Six stations all in one place -

• WIBA AM 1310 - News Talk 1310
• WIBA FM 101.5 - Classic Rock
• WTSO AM 1070 - The big 1070 sports
• WMAD FM 96.3 - Star Country
• WXXM FM 92.1 - The Mic
• WZEE FM 104.1 - Z-104

Our tour will start at approximately 6:30 at the studio / offices of Clear Channel Radio in Madison.  The address information is:  (There is a link to a map showing the location at the bottom of the email).

Clear Channel Radio-Madison
2651 S. Fish Hatchery Road
Madison, WI 53711

 

(The station is about 3 miles south of the beltline on Fish Hatchery Rd. on the right hand side (heading south).  Watch for the radio towers right behind their building).

If you would like to meet us directly at the station, that's fine.  Otherwise we will meet at Royal Oaks in the turn around in front of school and will plan to leave there by about 6:10 and hopefully get to the station by about 6:30.

 

If you are running late and need to find us - or if you get lost, etc. please feel free to call Tom Weber on his cell phone:  608-235-0963.

 

Scouts should try to dress in their uniform for the tour, and as always, families are welcome!!

December Pack Meeting POSTPONED

Due to the weather, tonight's meeting and tour at Sassy Cow Creamery has been canceled. We hope to reschedule for a day next week; as soon as we have a date we will let you know.  While the snow amounts will be less than 2" in our area, we are concerned about the patchy freezing drizzle that could occur after the meeting.  THANKS!
