Congratulations to Sam Badger, Canton Freshman.  Sam is 88.1 the Park’s May 2016 Staff Member of the Month.

Sam is one of our newest DJ’s and he’s been getting better every week.  He also is part of the station’s Community Focus staff.  His two recent interviews with outgoing Canton Public Safety Director Todd Mutchler and incoming Public Safety Director Joshua Meier, were filled with thoughtful questions.

“We’re excited to have Sam on our staff,” said Bill Keith, Station Manager.  “Sam works very hard and is always willing to help make the station better.  As a new staff member he has quickly become one of our top interview hosts.   We’re looking forward to great things from Sam.”
