blue friday

It's hard to believe that this is 9th year for 1077 'GNA and Blue Friday.

You know by now that we broadcasting live Friday morning from two different locations: DeNooyer Chevrolet on Wolf Road in Colonie, and Pizzeria Uno in Saratoga off of Exit 15 of the Northway.  That's all well and good, but WHY do we continue to do this?  What is it really all about?

It's a cause that we hold very dear to our hearts here at 'GNA and our parent company, Townsquare Media.  We certainly don't need to remind you of the importance of police officers and tragedy of them many times being killed in the line of duty. Blue Friday is here again (this Friday, March 9th)

WGNA Blue Friday is March 9th from 6am-10am this year.

We hope you can swing over to Hooters on Wolf Road this Thursday, 3/1 to support a fantastic cause - Blue Friday!

Every year, the Sean and Richie Show and WGNA do our part to help to raise money for families of police officers killed in the line of duty.  It's a tragedy that keeps on happening no matter what we do, but we try very hard to ease the pain of these unfortunate people. To raise everyone's spirits (as well as awareness), however,  it always helps to include the fantastic voices and talents of area

Yesterday, the New York State Senate passed legislation to recognize this Friday, March 11th as "Blue Friday."
