Students at Texas A&M-Commerce have a

KETR is Keeping You Informed
Technology of today allows many of us to work from home, and the staff and KETR is doing just that, while also helping to provide needed information and entertainment for the community.
Listen to KETR at 88.9 FM anywhere in Hunt County and surrounding areas, and beyond the over the air broadcast, you can listen online anywhere. Click the 'play' button at the top of the
KETR.ORG web page to listen live.
On the KETR page, you'll find information about Hopkins County's and Hunt County's first confirmed cases of COVID-19, both announced late Tuesday morning. You can also see the county-by-county list detailing the COVID-19 situation in the greater KETR listening area. Click play to hear how KETR General Manager Jerrod Knight says area citizens can depend on getting what they need from KETR.
Knight also says it's important that KETR provide real-time information to its audience. To serve the local audience in this time of need, KETR has increased programming specifically to address the COVID-19 pandemic. Area citizens should follow guidelines that have been issued by local officials, including staying at home except for essential needs, effectively and frequently washing your hands, maintaining a six-foot social distance, not traveling to visit others, and similar safety measures. Click play to hear how KETR's special programming can help you know about these and other guidelines.
KETR plans to continue to monitor and report about official actions taken by A&M-Commerce officials, city officials, and those making decisions for residents of Hunt County. People in the area should continue to monitor KETR by listening over the air or online and by
going to their web site. And of course a great means of keeping up with COVID-19 specific discussions is to listen weeknights at 8:00 pm for The National Conversation.
