KTTN News places emphasis on local and area happenings. Unlike many other smaller stations, we have a trained newsman on duty seven days a week. There are two full-time news people, plus two members of management who fill in when needed and also cover several regular assignments. Together, they have more than 75 years experience in news at KTTN!

TODAY'S NEWS UPDATES...

The Station carries news from two dozen city, county, and regional government meetings, as well as actions from school board meetings in six counties. Emphasis is placed on Grundy County, where the station is licensed, but about a third of the coverage is from surrounding counties. To keep listeners informed of what's going on at the state Capitol, there are weekly interviews with several area legislators.

Over the years, the station has been recognized for investigative reporting and coverage of public issues, and we have received several awards from local and regional educational organizations. In times of bad weather, KTTN carries school closings or postponements for more than 25 districts in nine counties.

For more than 40 years, local and area election coverage has been virtually unparalleled by other small market stations. KTTN broadcasts hours of continuous coverage on dozens of issues and candidate races in north Missouri. Included are network reports on state and national elections. The owners of KTTN, all of whom have a news background, have long realized the value listeners place on wanting to be informed.
