Sad news and good news

Sad news:
My last show on WRPI, 91.5fm,
will be next Tuesday, March 2.

Good news:
Hello Pretty City is moving to WEXT, 97.7fm
and online at www.exit977.org !!!

The new day and time slot will be decided soon
and I will write it here when I know.

Being a part of WRPI for the past seven years
has been one of my favorite parts of living in Albany.
I hope to keep my membership at the station
so that I can do fill-in shows for other djs, as needed.


Thank you for coming here to read about this change.
But most of all, thank you for listening to Hello Pretty City.
I don't know you personally but I think of you
when I'm on the air and out and about.
I hope you'll be able to keep listening
and if you're available,
come to the Hello Pretty City concert
on March 5th at Valentines.


(Nippertown just wrote a sweet little article
about Hello Pretty City moving to WEXT.)
