The Penguin changes colors
The Penguin (106.7 FM), born 5-plus years ago, was always an above average station reliable for a play list that was all over the musical map. You might hear The Ramones followed by The Grateful Dead followed by White Stripes followed by Tift Merritt. It nurtured North Carolina bands and those with ties to the Port City. But…
It is no more. The station is now The Flamingo, according to its website, though no details are available.
Maybe I missed a news blast somewhere along the way, but I’ll miss it. Maybe it just moved on the dial. Anyone have any information?
I am going to bet it is an April Fools…..Gerry.

Wow, if that’s the case, kudos. Pretty elaborate prank.
Count me fooled.
