KLDN Lufkin is Getting a New Transmitter This Week

Red River Radio Local Newscast 8:04 AM 02.02.22 with Chuck Smith

Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards and his office have been under fire amid recent news reports that he may have known more details about the 2019 death of Motorist Ronald Greene early on but didn’t say anything publicly for political reasons. He addressed these allegations at a press conference yesterday. The National Weather Service has issued winter storm advisories ahead of the coldest weather of the season that will hit Texas later today and gradually move through Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana. Will the region have a repeat of last year's February winter storm?
