Every weekday at noon since the emergency declaration on March 15, KZSM.org has broadcast our COVID-19 emergency news special, with the latest local, national, and international statistics on the pandemic. Beyond the numbers, we’ve explored the human impact of the crisis by talking to people. During this past week, we’ve interviewed San Marcos Mayor Jane Hughson and Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra about the city and county’s response to Gov. Greg Abbott’s order permitting the reopening of some businesses.
The news we report is often disturbing, but we also express encouragement and hope for the future. Also last week, Mark Jalufka, general manager of Lions Club Tube Rentals, detailed his plans for a safe and responsible reopening in the future.
The programming we offer during the rest of the day and night offers both entertainment and food for thought. Two of our newest shows, HaiTarot and Sunrise Soul Food, take different paths to the reach the spiritual solace so needed at this time.
