Advertising Sponsorship of TCN

You may have noticed a change at the top of the TCN. After several years the newsletter is no longer being sponsored by Eberle Design Inc. and Reno A&E. I want to thank them for their generous support of the TCN. If your company has an interest in sponsoring the TCN, please let me know. While I hope the sponsorship will bring you new business I think your sponsorship also tells others in the transportation community that you’re supporting what for 20+ years has been a daily source of news. The TCN is primarily a labor of love that’s allowed me to make my own unique contribution to a field I unexpectedly found myself in starting as a radio traffic reporter.
