In a world too often full of fear, they’ve given me creative license to design something truly unique."
O'NEILL added: “This is a powerful combination, and rare for radio today: an employee-owned, debt-free company that believes in live, local radio, and a legendary programmer with decades of experience creating unique stations. We’re very excited to welcome JOHN SEBASTIAN to MADISON and Q106.”
