Feinburg added, “Filling in for Jim and Ray I have had a chance to learn for myself what a special station WTIC is, what a wonderful audience it has and what a central role it plays in the political culture of the state. I can’t wait to get started!”
“Afternoons with Todd Feinburg” will focus on local issue, topics of the day, politics and more.
