“For the 8th year in a row, every other option was exhausted, and with the announcement looming, a decision had to be made,” said Woody of iHeartRadio ALT 98.7’s nationally syndicated The Woody Show. “That’s when we were handed the keys and warned that we had better not screw this up.  It’s an honor — one we fully intend to live up to. Here’s hoping January 11th arrives before iHeart realizes their mistake!”
