I was fortunate this past weekend to attend an event in Akron, Ohio with two very good friends. The event was postponed from January due to bad weather and I was the beneficiary of being able to attend on the delayed date. The event was called "Dead Media Market" and, the event was anything BUT "dead." We got there as it opened and stood in line. In the lobby were […]
Just wanted to let anyone concerned know that we ARE aware of the outage of Lowell's 100.3, WION-FM.
