As the 2010 high school football season draws closer, the status of our local radio station seems to be in question.

Earlier this summer, WGTO announced that due to a struggling economy, it was discontinuing all local radio shows.

Does this mean they will not be covering our Friday night football games?

Will Saturday Morning Sidelines with your host, Big D, return on Saturday?

This morning I stopped by WGTO to try to get some answers.

No one was there, so I taped a note to the front door advising management that I would gladly donate my services on Saturday mornings for the entire football season.

If WGTO decides to put Saturday Morning Sidelines back on the air this fall, I promise great shows every Saturday morning!

In addition to having Dowagiac Chieftains Head Coach Mike Stanger, I will also have newly-hired Cassopolis Rangers Head Coach Bernard Thomas.

Should be outstanding radio!
