Good Morning! Today is Wednesday, May 8th, the 129th day of 2024. There are 237 days left in the year.
Alright, so what happened with yesterday’s newsletter? KXEL and our company, NRG Media, contracts with a vendor who handles e-newsletters for stations across the country. However, they had a glitch in their system which meant e-newsletters for our stations and others did not go out as they were supposed to in the morning…then to make matters worse, draft versions were just randomly sent—meaning not only did you not receive our e-newsletter on time, the version you got in the middle of the afternoon did not include the information it was supposed to. Hopefully, things are smoother this morning…thanks for understanding.
Today on KXEL Live & Local with Jeff Stein … Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate and Nan Shimkat, Iowa director of the Small Business Development Center, on “National Small Business Month”… KXEL’s Tim Harwood with Jennifer Pickar of the Cedar Falls Convention and Tourism Bureau… Auron MacIntyre, author of “The Total State: How Liberal Democracies Become Tyrannies” joins us live… and segments from yesterday’s “Todd Starnes Show”.
