UTICA/ROME -- We're a week behind on this one, but with all the big news going on last week (and all sorts of holiday festivities), we simply ran out of time to write a Picture of the Week article. So, for a moment, let's all pretend it's Christmas time once again, as one Utica/Rome radio […]
UTICA/ROME -- Last week, we put out the call for stations to let us know what they're doing to help their communities during the holiday season. And last night on Facebook, we put out an urgent call for Picture of the Week submissions -- it's been such a busy news week, we never had time […]
