# Big Urban Airship announcement gets a little love from KGW

I’m always more than a little giddy when the traditional media pick up on Portland startup stories. And when it’s on the teevee? That makes me even more giddy.

And so when Urban Airship’s big announcement of $25 million more in funding [made KGW](http://www.kgw.com/news/Portlands-Urban-Airship-plans-major-expansion-190120961.html "Portland's Urban Airship plans major expansion")? That was a very happy moment, indeed.
