A blink at our studios, An “outage” for many….

A/K/A "AREN'T YOU GLAD YOUR CAR ISN'T AN E-V TODAY?" We try to mention on days when it's (continuously) above 90 or flirting with 90 degrees to be "conservative" in electric use.  It could be coincidence, it could be overusage of the local grid, but the "outage roulette" has begun this afternoon.   Parts of our listening area in town are without power. Please check on your elderly neighbors and any pets that rely on air conditioning...restoration times are predicted for […]

The people […]

Wednesday’s Trivia Answer, and Looking to the Weekend on WION!

From yesterday's "Win on Wednesday" during the J and J Midday show, our trivia had a near record amount of texts. The question was: Stored on 500 gigabyte hard drives, and STACKED, this would be over 8 times taller than Mount Everest. What is the DATA that is being stored in "said" drives? The answer:  (from "Business Insider) They (Amazon) have 1.5 billion items listed for sale and 200 million users. Amazon has one billion gigabytes of data on their […]
