Over 200 Western New York Workers boarded busses headed to Albany Tuesday morning to show their support for the "Fight For $15" movement. One of our Mix 96 listeners, Antonella from North Buffalo, was on board one of those busses joining the thousands of others around the state to convince lawmakers to raise the minimum wage to $15, and want the changes made by the end of the month...

Be EXTREMELY careful on the road tonight as we have some very foggy conditions throughout the area into Friday. A little compare-and-contrast: Here is how downtown Buffalo looks from the Mix 96 studio on a NORMAL DAY: ....and here is the exact same place today: Scary yes...
