            Today’s topic: KPCW – Your Community Connection

            KPCW is Park City, Utah’s local radio station. As one of the few radio stations that sounds clear in your car while driving around Park City, it has a tremendous local following. KPCW is one of the best sources for news and events relevant to the Park City area.

            KPCW dedicates five hours a day to award-winning, in-depth local news and interviews, with a focus on local Park City and Summit County issues. KPCW broadcasts timely information on local emergencies, road conditions and weather. The station also offers critical support to local not-for-profit organizations, providing interviews and producing over 26,000 free public service announcements each year to promote their activities.

            Unique local programs created by KPCW include: The Morning Show and Local News Hour, Monday-Friday 6:00 – 9:00 AM with Leslie Thatcher presenting local news, traffic and interviews; Mountain Money, with Ann Johnson, a daily report on local businesses; PM Park City, each afternoon with Randy Barton featuring local news and  interviews; Cada Domingo, a weekly three-hour program offering national and international news, music and interviews of importance to the area’s Spanish speaking community; This Green Earth, a weekly program with local and national “green” news and experts who help listeners live a more environmentally informed life; and Miner Details, a one-hour weekly report on local activities and sports produced by students from Park City High School. The station also provides a Saturday morning Classifieds Show, on-line Ride Board and Lost and Found.

            Today’s topic: The Park Record

            The Park Record is Park City’s local newspaper. The paper comes out bi-weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays. You can receive the paper by mail, or purchase it at many local outlets and distribution boxes for $0.50. It is also available online at http://www.parkrecord.com/.

            The Park Record is a great avenue for learning about what is going on in Park City. When someone walks in the front door here at the Keller Williams office at 693 Main St in Park City asking about what is going on in town, I recommend the Park Record as one of the best resources. It isn’t your source for national or world news. The paper is full of articles about local residents, local businesses, local politics and happenings. The paper is a great source for retail and restaurant specials, job openings and long term rentals.

            Park City real estate advertising makes up a good portion of the advertising, but the internet is a much more complete and frequently used portal for searching real estate for sale (see http://YouInParkCity.com/search  ) .
