Nixon commented, “We’re thrilled to expand our footprint and continue using the power of radio to connect and engage communities. Local radio remains an essential part of people’s daily lives, and we’re committed to delivering outstanding programming that truly resonates with listeners in the twin lakes region of Turman Lake and Lake of The Ozarks. KAYQ has a dedicated audience and a rich history of serving its community. We’re excited to build on that foundation-enhancing local engagement, strengthening partnerships with area businesses, and continuing to provide the great content listeners love.”
