If the rolling blackouts on the west coast allow you enough juice to read this…and if the smoke doesn’t bother your vision, then you are one of the lucky ones. The murderous fires on the west coast have kept newsrooms stretched to the max as they cover massive flames that are destroying property and people…kudos to the valiant efforts in newsrooms from San Diego to Seattle and all in between.

With a hurricane headed to my friends in New Orleans…with the west coast on fire….with 50 days to go before the election…and with the virus knocking off friends and family like pins on the bowling alley, the happy tone (at least it was happy) of the blog post almost seems frivolous. But we need to look and focus on the good now more than ever. With that in mind….

SHELLEY MABEL is trading Detroit TV for Detroit radio. Actually, more than just Detroit radio…she’s the Promotions Director for Salem Media’s Detroit operations and their Columbus, Ohio ops as well. Yeah girl! She’s been Director of Creative Services and Marketing for Flint’s WJRT as well as CSD/Marketing Director for Detroit’s WMYD as well as Director of Marketing and Research for WUPW, Fox in Toledo. I know she’ll have a blast bring the TV vibe to radio promotion. Well Dunne, Shelley.
