W+K’s Portland shop has launched their very own radio station today. Dan Wieden once hosted his own radio talk show in Portland before he became an advertising god, so really, this is a return to their roots. The station’s mission is to:

We’re starting small with minimal programming hours, with a goal to eventually share an equal amount of programming between our seven different offices and their communities worldwide.”
