JANESVILLE, Wis. (AP) — Local radio is on the rise in a big way even though the towers are short, the transmitters the size of home stereo receivers and the talent in need of more polish. Passion, dedication and a willingness to share locally produced programming that traditional commercial stations have abandoned, however, are abundant. In Janesville, the second floor studio of WADR-FM/103.5 is in what had been a historic home that later was converted to office space, the Wisconsin State Journal (http://bit.ly/1H3KbKm ) reported.
