Hello, out there in Radioland! We don’t need Chandu the Magician’s crystal ball to see that radio shows from the past have no future on station WLTD. That’s why July 31st marks the conclusion of all of our broadcasts on that station. It’s sad to move from the place where it all began for us just over five years ago…but it’s exciting to be able to move on to bigger and better things. Our Saturday afternoon THOSE WERE THE DAYS program will be heard on FM station WNIB (97.1) beginning Saturday, September 6th from 1 to 5 p.m.
