"When looking for someone to take over the daily duties of programming WRIF, Greater Media Market Manager John Gallagher and I only had to look to the next office," said Doug Podell, Greater Media Detroit Director of Programming. "I'm very confident Mark is qualified and ready to take RIFF into the PPM generation."

“I look forward to continuing Doug’s Motor City legacy in providing the very best rock and entertainment in the Motor City for our listeners,” said Pennington.

P.S. Remember, we're doing something that's never been done, so I have no idea how it will all go! Don't give up if it seems to go slow (like with any streaming, give the downloading a head start before you hit play), and don't forget there are two places where you can actually download it to your hard drive and three ways to stream it. You can get to all of them at the link above.

P.P.S. If you're not yet registered to vote, here's a good link: https://www.voteforchange.com/. There's less than two weeks for you to get registered, especially if you have moved since the last time you voted.
