Oregon Media Insiders

Staying in Cannon Beach for our anniversary (and this one was really memorable!)

I don't know what radio station they were continually playing in the lobby, but the reports were continuous, and it allowed us to feel connected. Looking back on it, I don't think they were particularly accurate, but they were probably as accurate as they could be, since rumor was rampant. There were a couple of times I went to our car for the KEX hourly news, and I felt the road reports were much more accurate coming from them. But since the coast was cut off there was no report of anything else pertinent to our situation - I only learned that our house was likely safe. Also, as we left, we asked at the fire station for a road-open report, and that confirmed that the local station was a little behind the times with their news.

Again, given what everyone down there had to work with, I thought it was a spectacular job. It is exactly this why I love radio!
