As those of you who have done air shifts this week know, the DIGI is gone. Yup, gone, dead, caput! So we are beginning the transition to ENCO. Everyone is doing great with the new system and I want to thank all of you for being patient with it all. Stop by to find out about the changes if you haven't worked with it yet.

Congratulations to our own Wes Hannah on his recent wedding. All of us here, at KMXT wish Wes and Elizabeth the best. Unfortunately for us they will be leaving the island. Also leaving Josie Cooper, Laura Ranney have graduated from High School and are off to new adventures.
