As an advertising manager for a major drug chain and helping them to leapfrog into a more active market, winning awards along the way. Wade established his own advertising agency, with the drug chain as one of the agency clients. In addition to owning and operating WYBG Radio, Curran Wade admits, "I still love this stuff!"

Dorothy "Dotty" Wade brings to "North Country Speaks" as Producer and Host, with many years of experience in family, children, business and almost a quarter century of advertising experience.
Dotty has the intuitive talent of getting answers to her questions on any subject that may be the topic of discussion with her guest that day. National, state and local politicians make frequent appearances. Rudy Gulliani, Gov. George Pataki, Rep. John McHugh and even Hillary Clinton's remarks have been aired.
Authors such as Barbara Olsen, who perished in the 9/11 attacks, talked with Dotty about her book "Hell to Pay." Charles A. Cerami's "Jefferson's Great Gamble," Burt Boyar's "Hitler," co-author Jack Cashill's "First Strike" and Ted Bell's "Hawke" have all had parts in Dotty's show.
New authors like Michael Morris and his "A Place Called Wiregrass" , Regina Louise's "Somebody's Someone" are just as enjoyable as well as known writers. Another book, "The Filthy 13", "was a hoot," says Dotty, talking with Jake McNeice whose oral recollections of the 101st Airborne Division's exploits during W.W.II were compiled by Richard Killbane into a real "attitude adjustment" of what war is really like. As a matter of fact, "The Dirty Dozen" movie was based on one of Jake's missions. Graham Kerr, the famous Chef, was delightful as well. What a guy! The audience is always the #1 indicator of how we pick interviews and so far, they like it!
