What’s it like to run a radio station in the days of streaming and satellite radio? Come find out at the next Knowledge Friday at The Church on Friday, January 5, at 6 p.m. from Bill Evans, caretaker, program director, chief meteorologist and apprentice DJ of Sag Harbor’s own 92.1 WLNG FM.

Join Evans, a former senior meteorologist for WABC-TV and 15-time Emmy Award winner, as he shares his story and experience and why he chose Sag Harbor’s landmark radio station as the next endeavor in his broadcasting career.

Come learn from Evans and have your burning questions answered during the Q&A after his presentation.
