WKMS Press Releases

The Kentucky Associated Press has notified WKMS News that its work for Murray State’s listener supported radio service has won two 1st place awards of excellence in its newly reorganized non-commercial radio category of competition. WKMS was among first-place winners with “The Best of Show” award in the Radio category.  Radio stations across the Commonwealth participated in the 2012 Kentucky Associated Press Awards competition.   

Murray State's public radio service 91.3 WKMS presents BURN: an Energy Journal, airing Thursdays, April 19 and 26, at noon. BURN: An Energy Journal is the flagship program of The Public Radio Energy Project.Host Alex Chadwick, a veteran reporter and writer, maintains that energy is the fundamental issue of our time; it powers our homes and our economy; it creates troubled alliances; it empowers and impoverishes; and enables almost all that we do as a society.

Work is underway installing an emergency generator at the WKMS LBL transmission center.  This will require turning off the HD transmitter.  As a result WKMS-HD channels and service at 92.5 FM, Paducah will be off the air for several hours as needed.  We apologize for this inconvenience. NOTE: This will not affect our web streams.
