My (our) program director, Mike Ferris has accepted a position as PD at
WIBA-Fm in Madison, WI.

I've endured several (maybe 8) pds here in Kalamazoo, but Mike has been one of
the most supportive and tolerant..... we even got to start broadcasting the
Kalamazoo Blues Festival live !

While he's reluctant to put "standard" blues into the "regular" programming,
he's a supporter of blues as a specialty program element.

Hopefully Madison will get 50,000 watts of commercial blues to augment WORT's
2,000 watt programs from Art Schuna and Bonnie Kalmbach.

Sorry for not catching this earlier or I would have responded. Could be very
interesting. We could use the competition. I hope this means that you will
continue to receive support for your show in Kalamazoo.

I've lived through 7 or 8 P.D.s so far...... so I'm sure we'll make it.

And it's entirely possible the Sunday Blues might land a slot on WIBA !
