Cynthia’s Challenge CANCELLED

Cynthia’s Challenge 24 Hour ski-a-thon has been cancelled due to concerns of the spread of COVID-19. Organizers posted the announcement saying it wouldn’t be appropriate to hold the event when the global priority is containing the new virus. They went on to say that all registration fees will be refunded as well as deposits for accommodations related to the event. Marketing Coordinator Aly Moore says that the Cynthia’s Challenge Board of Directors will be meeting this afternoon to review their options for alternative fundraising efforts and that funds raised will continue to go towards the purchase of a wheelchair accessible van for the Bunnell family.

Separately, the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services says the state now has it’s sixth official case of the virus. The individual is an adult male from Rockingham county who traveled to multiple countries in Europe. Authorities say he self-quarantined himself after returning from Europe and notified his healthcare provider when he began to develop symptoms.

Mark Johnson Leaves Mt. Washington Radio

Whether you talk to industry experts or regular listeners, most people asked will tell you that there’s something special about the sound of WMWV. That musical selection and rotation has been the work of a man named Mark Johnson since 1993. Mark says, “My heart was always about the music.” Normally music selection in modern radio is the result of studied charts tracking the popularity of songs in different genres. For Mark Johnson it was a passion that involved personally listening to submissions and using his own intuition to make judgements about what worked or didn’t with the sound of the station. Johnson says the music was his favorite part of the job. In a Mt. Washington Radio exclusive interview, I asked Mark if he had anything to say to the listeners. Mark said, “Thank you for listening to us all these years, all the very kind comments about, you know, what we do. Maybe even comments from people that didn’t like certain things. It’s all good. You know- this valley is amazing. I’m so proud to live here.” Mark Johnson will be leaving Mt. Washington Radio Group this Friday.
