Local TV is Coming Back to the Basin – But Better

Remember the good old days when you could flip on the TV and tune into our very own local news right here in Klamath County? Those were the days when community mattered, and it felt like we were all connected through that little box in our living rooms. We had real stories, local news, weather reports that actually made sense for our region, and coverage of local sports and events that made us feel proud to call this place home. Towns just a bit bigger than ours still enjoy local TV stations, but somewhere along the way, Klamath County got left behind. Nowadays, nobody has rabbit ears anymore, and cable bills are being cut faster than ever in favor of streaming services. People are tired of paying through the nose for networks filled with mindless drivel and content that doesn’t feel relevant to us. We want something real, something familiar, something local.

That’s why Klamath Community TV (KCTV), a proud partner of Gold Country Radio, is stepping up to bring back the magic – only better than ever! We’re talking local news, local weather, local sports, local events – you name it. And the best part? It’s all 100% local. No filler, no generic network garbage. Instead, it’s made by locals, for locals. A Timeless Service on a Modern Platform Imagine a streaming app available on Roku TV, Apple TV, Amazon FireTV, and your Android or Apple devices. Plus, imagine the possibility of shows like "Buying Klamath County" – an HGTV-style experience where local homebuyers tour various properties right here in our area. It’s modern, convenient, and packed with the content you actually care about. Whether it’s watching the latest OIT sports game live for free or catching up on local events, it’s all just a click away.

Plus, KCTV will include a livestream of Gold Country Radio, so you can tune in anytime to hear local hits and community updates while staying connected to your favorite station. On top of that, KCTV has the unique ability to alert the public of local emergencies and closures, keeping you informed and safe when it matters most.
