Remote News Service has added thirteen new affiliates, includig Alpha Media's KTSA/San Antonio, Forcht Broadcasting's WSIP, WKLW and WKYH/Paintsville KY and WAIN-FM, WCKQ-FM, WGRK-FM, WTCO-FM/Campbellsville KY and Basin Mediactive's KAGO-FM, KLAD-FM, KFXX-FM, KYSF-FM and KHIC-FM/Klamath Falls OR. Lesley Lotto, President and Lead Anchor of Remote News Service notes increased station need for fill-in news service, most notably with a quick turnaround.
"Remote News Service bailed me out while I was between News Anchors," stated Basin Mediactive/Klamath Falls, OR General Manager Rob Siems. "They did a fantastic job, stepping in and sounding local from day one of the month-long fill-in. Now that I know they can step in at a moment's notice, I plan to utilize their services when illness or vacation happens."
"We've always provided fill-in News Anchors for vacations, illness, sudden departures, etc.," explained Lotto. "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."
"Working with Lesley and her team at Remote News Service has been a huge help to fill the gaps for vacation relief and while recruiting new team members. It's high quality, on-time, and consistent," added KTSA Operations Director Greg Martin.
