As founder of SkagitRadio.com, I never dreamed the direction we’re now taking. We’ve outgrown the borders of Skagit County and have included webcasting teams in both Whatcom County and Snohomish County to better serve the high school boys’ and girls’ sports fans from the Sno-King county line north to the border. Fans know this area better as the extremely talented District One, where championship teams come from. SkagitRadio.com has simply evolved into something bigger than I initially imagined.
Speaking of championship teams, I feel like we have one right here at SkagitRadio.com. We wouldn’t be at this point if it wasn’t for our capable Web Guru on the technical side of things, Wade Tonkin. Wade led us through our online birth and expansion, both our audio and our online visual presence. Wade clocked in many, many hours behind the scenes to help us do what we do, and for that I’ll be eternally grateful. Thank you Wade for your tireless services to our team.
John Fasso, our feature broadcaster, is the voice and talent fans want to hear. John was brought in on day one for his experience and professionalism, and he has delivered what he promised he could do for
us here at SkagitRadio.com. John’s experience in broadcasting and his approach to his craft has been nothing but beneficial to the rest of our team as we now cover more schools and more communities. I can’t thank John enough for his efforts and contributions to our growth.
John, Wade and I also wish to thank Jim and Nancy Drake, Scot Buchanan, Fred Lee, Matt Henggeler, Kaleb Hart, Bud Ashe, Jay Alexander, Dale Sharp, Dan Guiliani, Auggie Falzarano, Eric Francis, Pat Dougherty, Norm Nelson, all the student-athletes, athletic directors, school employees, coaches and their assistants whom we’ve worked with this past year, and you. Thank you!
I thank all of our local sponsors, who’ve stepped up to support local high school sports in these trying times. Without these incredible businesses in and around the Northwest, we simply couldn’t do this. We are so thankful to these sponsors. They help keep our services ‘free’ to the public and our listeners. Finally, I thank our fans and loyal listeners who visit our site for the best local high school sports coverage this area has ever heard. We’re honored you listen, we’re honored you support high school sports, we’re honored to webcast sports to multiple communities – and we’re having fun.
The fun will continue at our new domain, or URL – WinNW.com. Please take the time to save WinNW.com to your favorites list on your computers at home and at work as this is where you’ll find us in 2010. Expansion has caused us to rename ourselves to a moniker more fitting of our coverage area – the entire Northwest! SkagitRadio.com will remain online until February 1, 2010, as fans who log on there will be automatically redirected to our new home, WinNW.com.
We wrap up our first full calender year of webcasting and look forward to our high school sports coverage in 2010, with many more improvements to our website. Big things are ahead for WinNW.com in 2010. Thanks again to everyone who made this a success! Happy New Year from ALL of us at WinNW.com.
