Apologies to our listeners on 100.3 for September 26/27th weekend

Over the weekend yet another internet outage took our Lowell signal on 100.3 off the air. This time it was Point Broadband, self admitted (for once) in an email to the station found late on Sunday night. We have tried, now, for over 5 years to keep this signal “on” and “reliable” to you...but, as we've said on the air, when you deal with two different internet service providers, it's […]

It’s National Radio Day again……do we celebrate?

Obviously if you're here, you are well aware of WION's existence.  Some of what you're about to read  you may not know, however.
