My Visit to Q104 Halifax
Posted by Alex on May 11, 2010 in Blog | Comments
I’m kicking myself for not taking some photographs because my visit to Q104 yesterday was really interesting. Their offices and studios were nothing like what i expected. They were very big and very modern! Ted Hyland, General Manager of Q104 and Kool 96.5 invited me to visit and take a tour of their facilities followed by a light lunch. I was lucky enough...

I never thought this day would come, but it has.. or nearly has. The Haliwards Ceremony is tomorrow night at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. It’s been a rollercoaster project that has seen its fair share of ups and downs, but I am pleased to say that we can see the home stretch and everything is looking good.
