Local Newscast for October 26th

Gavin Dahl

KDNK's Local Newscast airs weekday mornings at 6:41 and 7:41 during Morning Edition.

Last week, KDNK, The Sopris Sun and the Carbondale Chamber of Commerce co-hosted a live mayoral candidates forum at the Third Street Center, attended by few dozen people and broadcast live on the radio. Already this week we’ve highlighted discussions on business development and affordable housing. Today we’ll hear the candidates’ remarks on public safety in Carbondale. Gavin Dahl reports.

With news headlines for this Wednesday October 26th, 2016 here’s news director Gavin Dahl.

You may have noticed ads in the local newspapers lately from CenturyLink about Lifeline. This government-led benefit program makes residential telephone service more affordable to eligible low-income families and individuals. The Lifeline discount is available for one phone per household, wireless or wireline. Plus, Lifeline-eligible subscribers can also qualify for home Internet service at reduced prices for a year. More information is online at centurylink.com/lifeline.
