"We're excited to be able to bring The Woody Show and the best in Alternative music to the fans in Portland," said Program Director Ben Marcotte.  "Portland has an avid Alternative Rock fan base and The Woody Show has built an incredibly compelling and entertaining brand that we can't wait to share with our listeners."

"Returning to Portland is a homecoming of sorts for me," shared Woody. "I was unceremoniously fired in 1997, but thanks to the folks at the new ALT 102.3, I now have the opportunity to return and reaffirm that decision."
