OSWEGO — The past six months have been rather interesting for WRVO.  The NPR affiliate has a new GM, and the station has been watching from afar as  lawmakers in Washington have threatened to cut funding for public broadcasting income management in 2021.  Those issues are among the topics discussed within three “cover story” articles […]
