Townsquare Media Launches Washington State News Network

Washington State News Network

Townsquare Media launches the Washington State News Network (WSNN), a source of local, regional and statewide news available to broadcasters and listeners in the State of Washington. Short form news reports will broadcast on select Townsquare Washington stations, including KONA-AM/Tri-Cities, KFLD-AM/Tri-Cities, KIT-AM/Yakima and KPQ-AM/Wenatchee, as well as third party affiliates throughout Washington State.

The short form news reports will come in the form of eight 90-second reports per day, Monday through Friday. Breaking news stories will also be available online at washingtonstatenews.net and on Facebook.

"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. 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," commented Townsquare Media Vice President of News & Ag Networks, Western Region Kevin O'Rorke.
