My husband was a news guy in radio about a hundred years ago. I remember cramped studios and nights at city council meetings. Nice that they have new digs.
Yup, Michele — that’s about what it was like. I think radio stations had it even worse than newspapers!

Expertise + Marketing = Success (IMHO)
Your equation is exactly right. Well said.
