Return to Being Iowa

We don’t see each other in radio, we hear each other, but we miss seeing you. We miss being able to shake your hands at station events, we miss walking and running with you in 5Ks, we miss chatting with you when we pick the kids up from school… or telling drunken stories to each other as we close down the bars. We don’t use hyperbole when we say you’re the best listeners in the world. You… us… Iowa. It’s your home… our home.

Thank you for continuing to listen… and we can’t wait to see you soon. Enjoy this special message from all of us at the Des Moines Radio Group:
