March 20th, 2020 (Marion, OH) – In response to Governor Mike DeWine order to close in-restaurant dining throughout the State of Ohio in order to slow the spread of COVID-19, iHeartMedia Marion radio stations (WMRN-AM, WMRN-FM and WYNT-FM) have launched a new web-based resource to help local business owners. Starting today, “MarionToGo” is available from each station website with information on carry-out, delivery, and curbside options as well as links to purchase restaurant gift cards.
“During these uncertain times, we feel it’s important to remember how much these businesses and their employees mean to the city and its residents,” said Paul James, Program Director for iHeartMedia. “With local restaurants forced to close their dining rooms to avoid spreading the Coronavirus, we wanted to show our support by offering information on alternative dining options. We're all in this together.”
“Most restaurants and bars are offering gift card purchases in-store and online at this time as well, allowing patrons to support their business in other ways than ordering food,” Jordan Treadway , Market President, iHeartMedia Marion said. “There are so many ways to continue to support our Marion friends and business owners during this time, it’s important we let them know how much we appreciate them and have their backs right now.”
#MarionToGo is available free of charge online and will be promoted across iHeartMedia Marion stations both on-air and through its social media platforms. For local restaurants interested in participating in this program, they can email LorieDutton@iHeartMedia.com or PaulJames@iHeartMedia.com or tag any of the iHeartMedia Marion stations on social media with the hashtag #MarionToGo.
