WUWM Tour FAQs
Where is WUWM 89.7 - Milwaukee’s NPR located?
Our office and studios are located on the 7th floor of the Chase Tower in Downtown Milwaukee (111 E. Wisconsin Ave., Suite 700, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 53202).

Yes. Each tour is led by a WUWM staff member.
How long is the tour?
A tour typically takes 25-35 minutes.

How many people does a tour accommodate?
Due to space restraints, we prefer to cap tours at 15 guests max. However, if you have a larger group, we can likely accommodate you by having two tours run within 15 minutes of each other. If you have questions/concerns about tour capacity, please email ebagatta@uwm.edu.
Are children allowed?
Yes. However, we please ask that children have adequate supervision throughout the duration of the tour and that they’re able to maintain a reasonable volume. We know how excited young kids can be (who can blame them?!), but we also need to respect the WUWM staff members as they concentrate on their work.
Is parking available?
Our office is located downtown; therefore, parking can be a bit tricky. Metered street parking is available, as well as several parking garages and public lots located near the Chase Tower.
Does WUWM validate parking in the Chase Tower structure?
Unfortunately, WUWM is not able to validate parking.
