Remote News Service has announced it has added 13 new affiliates as part of an expansion.
Company President and lead anchor Lesley Lotto said more and more stations are in need of fill-in news service with quick turnarounds.
“We’ve always provided fill-in News Anchors for vacations, illness, sudden departures, etc.,” Lotto said. “Across the industry, there’s been an increase in fill-in requests, especially from stations that need someone on the air in 6 to 12 hours, which we are able to provide.”
The new affiliates include Alpha Media’s news/talk 550 KTSA in San Antonio, as well as Basin Mediactive’s five-station cluster in Klamath Falls, Oregon, which includes Newstalk 1150 KAGO. Additionally, the service will now be used at Forcht Broadcasting’s seven stations in Paintsville and Campbellsville, Kentucky.
