🌸🐾 Happy National Dog Day from our very own Daisy! 🐾🌸

If you’ve stopped by, you know she’s the first to greet you with a happy bark and a tail wag that could power the whole office. 🐶💨

When she’s not on greeting duty, you’ll find her sneaking a chip or happily sharing ice cream — because our girl has treat taste! 🍦🥔💕

Here’s to our official greeter, cuddle queen, and joy-spreader — we wouldn’t be the same without her!

Show us your pups in the comments so Daisy can meet her furry friends! 🐕✨

📡 Shout-out time! 📡
Meet Erick — one 1️⃣ of our engineers and the reason you actually hear us instead of static. 🎙️ Engineers don’t often get the spotlight, but they’re the backbone of the station. Erick is part of our village, keeping the wires humming, the signals strong, and the magic on the air. Thanks for all your hard work keeping us loud and clear, Erick! 🙌 t

📻 Yesterday we had the absolute pleasure of meeting the Flocco and Johnson families from Chicago - loyal WELY listeners! They’ve been visiting Ely since 1975 and made a point to stop by the station, sharing stories, smiles, and even a photo of their morning coffee in a classic WELY mug. 🩵

These are the kinds of moments that remind us why community radio matters. It builds lasting connections - the kind that span generations - 3 generations in this photo.

🎙️ And for our advertising partners, this is more than just a feel-good story — it’s proof that radio works. When listeners remember your business or visit because they heard about it on WELY, that’s your return on investment in real time.

💡 Be like the Floccos and Johnsons — tune in, stop by, stay connected. And if you’re a business thinking about advertising, let us show you how radio pays off — in loyalty, in reach, and in results.
