KLCC Special Issues

Profiling DOWNTOWNS
in the KLCC listening area
Series airs April 21-27, 2008

KLCC's Special Issues Unit is hard at work on the latest series from the News Department. The topic is Downtown Profiles.

Reporters will tell listeners about cities and towns in our listening area. The main focuses are history, culture and economics. We will meet the people and stroll the streets of Antelope, Coburg, Corvallis, Cottage Grove, Eugene, Florence and Springfield.

The stories will air April 21-25 at 6:20 a.m. and 8:20 a.m. on Morning Edition, and between 4:00-4:30 p.m. on the Northwest Passage. The series will conclude April 27 on Sunday at Noon with listener call-in.

The series is edited by KLCC News Director Tripp Sommer.

Audio, photos, resources, and more information will be added to this page throughout the week of the series.
