Coronavirus is impacting our day to day lives. Each day we are inundated with national news on Coronavirus. But, what is the effect on our local community? To help answer that question, KRWG Public Media has launched a weekly radio program that will address questions on how Coronavirus is impacting on the local community.
Voice of the Public: Coronavirus Update will air each Friday from 1pm – 2pm on 90.7 FM and krwg.org. The show will feature guests who have an insight on what is happening locally with regards to Coronavirus.
"KRWG Public Media is pleased to offer this weekly program as a chance for listeners to ask questions regarding this important story. For those who don't want to call in, we have the opportunity to participate on Facebook with questions and comments. In advance of the broadcast, listeners may also email questions to feedback@nmsu.edu," said Fred Martino, Ph.D., KRWG Director of Content.
This Friday, Las Cruces Mayor Ken Miyagishima will be the featured guest. The newly re-elected mayor will take your calls and questions about the city's response to Coronavirus, as well as other questions and concerns you may have.
Next week, our guest is New Mexico Mexico State University President Dr. John Floros. That program will air Friday, April 3 from 1pm to 2pm.
KRWG Public Media has a dedicated page on our website, www.krwg.org/coronavirus that remains updated with the latest information from the CDC, Texas and New Mexico Departments of Health, area educational institutions, and more. We don’t know what the next few weeks or months will bring, but KRWG Public Media will be here for you.
