Tuesday, June 2nd, 2026: The Bay Blend's 1st BIRTHDAY + Help us name the Manatee!

Happy birthday to the Bay Blend! As of today, this show is officially a year old. But we realized, we still haven’t named our baby. Our cute little manatee logo has no name, and we need your help figuring out what it should be. We’ll tell you how in just a bit, along with some fun Tampa Bay area activities tonight, but first - the news. The Bay Blend is sponsored by Seitenbacher.
