Homegrown Rocker - Great News!

Post by **Jim Price** » Tue Mar 02, 2010 5:52 pm

I wanted the Rockpage community to be the first to be informed of great news passed along to me this morning regarding the future of my local music program, "The Homegrown Rocker."

After ongoing discussions, the show will make its debut on Rocky 99.1 in Johnstown within the next few weeks, once the technical adjustments are made to set it up. This will enable the show to reach new listeners throughout a good chunk of western and southwestern PA.

Thanks to Tommy Edwards and the powers that be for making this possible! More details on the exact Rocky 99.1 launch date of the "Homegrown Rocker" as they become available!
