YARRRRRRR!!! THIS IS CAPTAIN STATIC SPEAKING!!!

TOWPATH RADIO IS MINE NOW — 98.7 FM, THE STREAMS, THE WIRES, THE FACEBOOK PAGE... ALL OF IT!!!

I’ve cut the brakes, thrown the logs overboard, and I’m playing whatever the voices in my radio-fried skull tell me to play! Country? Maybe. Polka? Probably. A cassette I found under my seat in 1994? ABSOLUTELY.

NO MORE TELETYPE. NO MORE “SCHEDULES.”
JUST CHAOS AND STATIC... 'TIL THE CLOCK STRIKES NOON TOMORROW.

That’s when the so-called Towpath crew says they’ll try to take the station back.
HA! LET ‘EM TRY! I’LL BE HERE WITH A BANJO IN ONE HAND AND A FROZEN BEAN BURRITO IN THE OTHER!!!

UNTIL THEN—IT’S ALL MINE.
CAPTAIN STATIC OUT.

LISTEN. IF YOU DARE.

📜 RANSOM MESSAGE RECEIVED ☠️

"Ahoy, Landlubbers o’ Towpath Radio,

That shiny new signal on 98.7 FM? It be ours now. We’ve taken the transmitter, commandeered the console, and hoisted the skull ‘n’ crossbones. The frequency now sails under the flag of Pirate Radio — Grand Rapids, Ohio!

If ye ever hope to reclaim the airwaves, ye must deliver the followin’ to our secret hideout (no questions, no tails, no deputies):

One box o’ breadsticks from Snyder’s Pizza Grand Rapids .

A single Jolly Rancher, smuggled from Grandma's Pantry & Olde Gilead's Candy Counter at The Shoppes at Carson Block - Grand Rapids.

A tabletop treasure or card game from the halls of Gamechefs LTD

A cold pint from the cellars of Wild Side Brewing Company.

And something forged in steel from the mighty DunRite Fabrication LLC.

Until our demands be met, we’ll keep floodin’ the airwaves with a rebellious blend — country gold, hippie hits, forgotten oldies, backwoods jams, and whatever else floats our boat.

You’ve been boarded.

Signed,
🎙️ Captain Static & The River Rogues
—Broadcastin’ from somewhere upriver, where no map dares to go…"

"Does my business need a website when I'm using Facebook?"

YES!!!

Here are three strong reasons why your small business should have its own website instead of relying solely on Facebook:

1. Full Control & Ownership – With a website, you own your content, branding, and customer interactions. Facebook can change its algorithms, policies, or even suspend your account without warning, limiting your reach and control over your business presence.

2. Credibility & Professionalism – A dedicated website makes your business look more legitimate and trustworthy. Customers tend to take businesses with a professional website more seriously than those relying only on social media.

3. Better Visibility & Marketing – A website allows you to rank on Google, optimize for SEO, and attract customers beyond Facebook’s ecosystem. Plus, you can integrate email marketing, online stores, and other tools that aren’t as effective on social media alone.
