The area’s news media coverage of the HBA Home Show began with extensive coverage in last week’s Springfield Business Journal, continued with a Thursday front-page preview of the show in the Springfield News-Leader, and didn’t let up from there. KTTS and KSGF radio news reports covered the event. And, on Saturday, listeners to KSGF heard a two-hour broadcast of their Saturday morning program “Tech Talk” hosted by Davis Cellular’s Luke Davis. That program featured many HBA members, and can be heard by clicking here: Hour One; Hour Two.
