Madison, WI native Pat Gallagher returns home to take over mornings on WRIS, The Resistance. Gallagher worked in Alternative radio in Madison for 27 years before joining Mid-West Family Madison for a brief time then heading to WCNR, Charlottesville, VA to do mornings.

"Pat helped define alternative music in Madison," said Randy Hawke, Vice President of Programming for Mid-West Family. "It's so important to have him here and be a part of it."

In addition, Gallagher will be assisting in programming the heritage radio station WMGN, Magic 98 and will have a feature on WOZN, The Zone named The Active Zone which will focus on the activities Gallagher loves.

"I'm thrilled to be back in my hometown, doing what I love best-playing great music at a great radio station," said Gallagher. "I'm proud to be a part of Mid-West Family and grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such a fantastic company. I'm looking forward to doing amazing things with the team here at The Resistance. There's a lot more to come!"
