  Friday, September 9th
15th Annual Radiothon

The 15th year of our annual event was bittersweet. We raised more money than last year, coming in at $57,430 in winning bids and sponsorships. The bad news was this was long-time Four Corners Broadcasting DJ Tom Little’s last day on the air in Durango. Tom accepted a promotion to manage Four Corners Broadcasting’s stations in Grand Junction. Tom – you will be missed my friend! Click here for photos from the event.
