According to KDAK's Marketing Specialist, Jess Sabinash, plans are in the works to add more content and programs. Sabinash works with local businesses to promote them on-air and draw customers to them.
One of the ways they help promote local businesses is through their Wheeler Dealer auctions. Listeners can purchase discounted goods and services from local businesses through the monthly online auctions. In fact, the September monthly auction opened Wednesday, Sept. 25. To view the items on auction, go to https://www.i3gmediawheelerdealer.com/ and search by city or category.
Both Sabinash and Walters will be on site Oct. 17 for 8th Avenue & Main Pasta Fest. The Radio Rover will be broadcasting live from in front of their studio on Main Street in Carrington. The pair also intend to enter competing pasta dishes in the contest. Sabinash chose lasagna and Walters will whip up chicken parmesan using egg noodles.
