WisSat Satellite Downlink System

A WisSat viewing facility is located in or near every Extension office in Wisconsin. These video satellite downlinks deliver educational satellite TV programs to Wisconsin citizens with support from the local UW-Extension office. The programs delivered by WisSat support the mission of Cooperative Extension in Wisconsin.

The WisSat downlinks are also available for fee-based use by educational institutions, government agencies and the general public on a time and space-available basis. All sites accessible to the public are listed on this page, which describes the WisSat network. To reserve an individual site, please contact the site directly at the telephone number listed for that site. To reserve multiple sites or to learn more about WisSat sites, please call Ingrid Gottfried Monday-Thursday at 608-262-4552.
