20 years ago, Paul Doyle had a thousand dollars and a dream…to start a newspaper that would print “Only positive stories.” 

Stories that were uplifting. Stories that were inspiring. Stories that covered the people, places and events that make Sonoma County the greatest place on the planet. 

He called it the Upbeat Times and instead of charging for that paper, he would give it away for free. You'll find it in doctor’s offices, coffee shops and yes, even at the front desk of our radio station.

For keeping that positive spirit alive and well, we now nominate Paul Andrew Doyle as another Sonoma County Hometown Hero.
