An effort from Townsquare Media to launch the Washington State News Network has come to fruition.
In a press release, Townsquare Media says the network aims to be “the only source of local, regional, and statewide news that is available to broadcasters and listeners in the State of Washington.”
The Washington State News Network will provide eight 90-second reports on weekdays for three Townsquare news/talk stations in the state, and other stations that subscribe to the service.
“We are thrilled to bring quality local, regional and statewide news to the many communities in Washington State that are starving for more local information in their communities,” Townsquare Media Western Region Vice President of News & Ag Networks Kevin O’Rorke said. “Many broadcasters were forced to cut news staff and content during the pandemic and we couldn’t be more excited to fill that void for both broadcasters in need of the service and listeners wanting the latest breaking news.”
