The Rubber City Radio Group (RCRG) and MedCity News have agreed to a content partnership, it was announced today.
Under the agreement, Rubber City Radio will use MedCity News content on the award-winning AkronNewsNow.com and will also feature MedCity News content in broadcast programming. The agreement provides for MedCity News staff members to periodically appear on-air and discuss news from the medical sector of interest to the Akron audience.
“This is a great opportunity to expand our coverage, in partnership with MedCity News, of a segment of the local economy critical to the growth and development of the Akron area,” said Ed Esposito, vice president of information media for Rubber City Radio Group. “MedCity News delivers depth and context provided by trusted and talented journalists who understand how important the medical services and technology sector is beyond the normal healthcare reporting.”

We’re proud to have our name associated with another trusted media outlet.
