Take a moment: Pick a charity

We’d like to pick your brains and ask you what your favorite charity is in metro Birmingham (and why).

Please post your answers in the comments section. There is a method to our madness… Depending on the answers that we get we’ll be letting you know why in a couple of days. (at least what the next step will be – if we need it).

This week on Timetable: Books and fireworks

First of all, it’s more like the first two days this week on Timetable as we hope to have finally rebuilt the rest of the Magic City MySpace Directory by Thursday morning.

But we figured you’d want something to do until then (especially on Wednesday night) so here’s a list of some of the larger events in the immediate area for you to choose from.

That’s the question fans of 101.1 WYDE-FM are asking this morning as noise or Christmas music fills the air as they tuned in this morning. A quick check of their website shows that the domain is being changed to Fun101radio.com.

UPDATE: The "fun" starts on Thursday morning

It appears that many did not expect this change today, although several people were upset about the last broadcast of the Home Show on Saturday, who actually announced the change in a news posting on their site. Continue reading
