We'd like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Entercom Communications (Majic 95, Mix 94.7, Talk Radio 1370 AM) for generously donating space for us to stay on the airwaves after our recent arson attack. The rebuilding process lasted from January to September of this year, but KOOP barely missed a beat during that challenging period and Entercom had more than a little bit to do with that. Thanks, Entercom!
