Tune in . . . Rock Out!

At the executive staff meeting on Friday, October 2, the group voted to adopt a new slogan for the station. Actually, the group voted to adopt TWO new slogans for the station: "Tune in, Rock Out!" and "88-3, Rockin' DG." Emphasizing just how incredibly hard we rock, the new slogans should start popping up in Legal IDs, Liners, and print material soon! Thanks to Siga and Stephanie for their work.
