Virtual News Center has added another affiliate to its expanding portfolio, and is now delivering local newscasts for KAYQ (97.1 The Lake) in Warsaw, MO. The station is owned by Sticks Media, led by President and Owner Todd Nixon. Jared Cerullo will anchor the daily newscasts for KAYQ, bringing hyper-local content to the Classic Country outlet.

"Virtual News Center has been a game-changer across all three of my stations," said Nixon. "Their team consistently delivers professional, timely, and hyper-local newscasts that give us a strong local presence without the overhead of a full newsroom. As an owner, it's helped my bottom line tremendously-quality content, no staffing headaches. They're a trusted partner and a key part of our listener experience."

Virtual News Center produces customized newscasts that align with each station's format and community needs, helping stations maintain a strong local connection.

"We are excited that when Todd adds another station, he gives us a call," said Joel Dearing, CEO of Virtual News Center. "His stations sound great, and we are proud to be a part of it."
