FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
COVID-19 LOCAL ADVERTISING GRANTS
April 3, 2020
MT PLEASANT, Mich. ― Latitude Media, LLC (My1043 WCZY and AM830 & 92.3FM WMMI and related digital properties), locally owned and operated by Bob and Laurie Peters earlier this week announced a new $10,000 grant program designed to help market and enhance local businesses during this unprecedented time. If you own and operate a business within Isabella, Clare, Gratiot, and Midland counties, we encouraged you to fill out an application at My1043.net or 923WMMI.com.
The popularity of the grant program grew to 27 businesses and each business received a $700 grant totaling $18,900 in no cost advertising. Recipients are from a wide geographic range with various products and services, all of which are locally owned and operated within our own communities. A full list of those businesses are found at My1043.net and at 923WMMI.com.
Latitude Media realizes that small, locally owned businesses are some of the most affected by the COVID-19 crisis. As a local broadcaster, it is our duty to help connect our community and to disseminate information accurately and quickly.
Thank You!
