“In TUSCALOOSA, NICK SABAN, UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA head football coach, teaches that there is a process necessary for success,” said MALONE. “It involves having a winning plan, incredible focus, dedication, and hard work. AMBER possesses all of these qualities and will take our stations to the next level.
