Re: [IRCA] DX TEST: WGGH-AM 1150 MARION, ILLINOIS
Dave,
The owner Jim Fishback/Fishback Media, Inc does not own any other statons at
all. I am PROUD to say we are locally owned and operated .. with an owner
who understands the business and cares not only about the community, but his
employees.
I have some old WGGH jingles somewhere that I can squeeze into the test I
think ;)
I have been in Nebraska in almost a year. Had a pit stop at a station in ND(
again) that was a disaster, now I am here and happy.
