Similarly, TMN Television, our TV news station, broadcasts every Thursday at 5:30 pm on the on-campus channel 36. Our radio station, KTRM, broadcasts talk shows, live Truman sports

games, and alternative music 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Detours Magazine, a travel magazine highlighting interesting destinations in the tri-state area of Missouri, Iowa and Illinois, publishes online biannually. And lastly, TMN Digital houses all this content and more in one area, the TMN website.
