KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Sept. 8, 2016) – Leading two-way communications and weather radio manufacturer, Midland Radio Corporation, has selected Backbone Media to drive public relations efforts across North America.

Midland Radio chose Backbone Media to help build awareness and exposure throughout the active lifestyle and outdoors markets through the agency’s relationships with influential media titles and brands.
