For we don’t know how long, we have flung open the doors on Christmas Eve at the Magic 97.7 studios and invited everyone to come visit, share food and drink, share memories and send wishes.

Yes, we have liquor in the studio on occasion.   When we have our Halloween and Christmas parties (coming soon!), bottles of Champagne (or at least sparkling wine) and Kahlua show up.  Some linger. We’re unsure if it’s legal, but the FCC hasn’t busted us yet so we’ll continue.
