256 Today is proud to present the Our Town Podcast. Check here every week for the latest episode from Troy Bye, North Alabama’s newest favorite son.

The Our Town Podcast showcases all that is good in North Alabama. Each week, guests are invited from business, sports, entertainment, education, the arts, and so much more to discuss all aspects of living and working in The 256.

Each of us has a story and each of us grew out of a circumstance. Are you ready to be inspired?

Meet Mike Wright, vice president/general manager of reigning two-time station-of-the-year award winner WAAY-TV Channel 31.

Mike gives some tremendous insight into the state of the television business, taking the reins and building a new culture at WAAY-31, bringing SEC Football to North Alabama airwaves this fall, managing through the ice storm of ’24, life in East Texas, and so much more.
