I know it's the middle of the summer and the last thing you may be thinking about is school, but there is a way you can reward a special teacher and, in turn, reward yourself.

Heather from Hannacroix got emotional on the air with us Friday morning when talking about her father, Kevin Spencer.  Kevin you see, wasn't just dad, he was also her concert buddy who shared a passion for country music and live shows - and together - the daddy and daughter duo were unstoppable.  Well, almost unstoppable. When Heather's father was given a terminal cancer diagnosis back in 2011, it

This local couple was in the right place at the right time. They were on vacation when all of a sudden they had to put their special skills to the test and save a young girl in distress.

A little over a week ago, the story about Billy O'Brien from Adams, MA became the feel good country story of the week.  The video we shared that captured the moment where Billy was surprised by the GNA morning show with meet and greets for his idol, Reba McEntire, went viral.  Happily, we're here for a little update on our man Billy from Adams. If you've been following along with the story, the pi

What doesn't June's Hometown Hero do?  Kim Talbot from Scotia was just wrapping up the 2018 school year when we called her the other morning to talk to her about the nomination from a friend of hers.  She was in the middle of serving breakfasts, packing lunches and arranging for underprivileged students of the Scotia-Glenville school district to have their necessary essentials.  Listen to the phon

Starting at 6am on Wednesday, July 4th - and continuing all throughout Independence Day on WGNA - Brian and Chrissy will be honoring some of the local men and women in our military who may be away from their families while protecting our freedom back home. We'll be airing special shout-outs, messages and personal stories from family members who want to honor the military hero in their family. It's

If you have never heard of country music artist, Jimmie Allen, you soon will. He is a talented and humble artist who faced adversity to get where he is today. Chrissy sat down with Jimmie at the Taste of Country Music Festival to discuss his rise in country music and how he got there.

Schools typically warn their students ahead of time that senior pranks could result in various forms of punishment, and over the years, they seem to have dwindled a bit.  After a clever senior prank by a group of seniors at Cumberland High School in Wisconsin went viral last month showing the dangers of drinking and driving, it's nice to know that some Berne-Knox-Westerlo senior students followed

While we can go on and on about many of the great people we've met over the years, I think it's safe to say that one individual really stands out - his name is Doug Kimball. You may know him as Golden Years Doug.  Doug is the man who called into our show on a random September morning and offered some valuable perspective and he's become a very good friend.  Our friend to the end.

School is winding down and many local seniors are getting ready to enjoy a final Summer in the Capital Region before life really starts to come at you fast.  Many of you may have heard about - or perhaps planning one on your own - a senior prank. I'm here to tell you DON'T DO IT!  It's not worth is. Unless of course you're clever enough to pull off an awesome prank like this one.

Every weekday morning at around 9:45, Chrissy and I do a Good News segment - highlighting a positive, uplifting, or inspirational story.  Tuesday morning we talked about a local contractor named Joe Shewczyk who was in his work truck on Friday morning and watched an accident unfold on alternate Route 7, Latham,  right before his very eyes.  With some quick thinking, bravery, and a little help from

On Tuesday morning, a call came into the GNA studio from a woman named Margaret from Schoharie County. She was with some family members - gathered bedside around their passing father - a man in his 70's they call Big G.  She told us that Big G, a Navy veteran and truck driver for 43 years, was on hospice and didn't have much time. She had one little request for us and we obliged without hesitation
