Cutting with scissors

In about two weeks, the Great.Lakes.Loons will have a little ceremony.

ESPN 100.9-FM will unveil its new state-of-the-art radio studios with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony January 28, 2009, held in conjunction with the Midland Chamber of Commerce.

The studios for the Tri-Cities’ only 24-hour all-sports station have been re-located to the press box at Dow Diamond, overlooking the baseball field. Since the station’s purchase in March 2008, operation of the station has taken place in the Citadel Broadcasting studios in Saginaw.

The event will begin at 4pm on the third floor of Dow Diamond and is open to the public. Complementary soft drinks and snacks will be provided, and a cash bar will be available.

Cash bar? For a radio station function? In the words of Rod Farva, "Open Bar, dude!"
