Something New at
Haystack Broadcasting
Starting October 4, 2010
Again there's something new happening at Haystack Broadcasting. Starting Monday, October 4, Gorge Country Y-102 adds local air personality Scott Thomas in the 10AM - 2PM shift weekdays. Thomas joins morning DJ Nolan Hare (6 - 10AM) and afternoon DJ Paula Fairco (2 - 6PM).
That gives Y-102 a completely local air staff from 6AM - 6PM weekdays, unlike any other station in the area. Featuring local people who live and work in the Gorge is just one more way that locally-owned and operated Haystack Broadcasting aims to serve the community, rather than out-of-state stockholders.

DID YOU
KNOW?
"A dollar spent at a locally owned store is usually
spent 6-15 times before it leaves the community. From $1, you create $5-$14 in
value within your community."
"Spend $1 at a national chain store and
80% of it leaves town immediately."
Quotes: Tim Mitchell, first cited in
'E' Magazine - article available through the Northwest Earth Institute's
