🤣 BREAKING NEWS:
I picked up last week’s regional newspaper… and discovered I had apparently traveled back in time.

Every story of any substance? Already on B97.5 days earlier.
Every obituary? Days — sometimes a week — before it ever hit print, after services already occured.
At this rate, if I want to see tomorrow’s news, I should probably check next month’s edition. 😉

That’s why we’re proud (and honestly a little amused) to be the ONLY daily source for news in the entire Two Rivers Region.
If it happens here, you’ll hear it from us today, not eventually.

🌐 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!
We’re launching RiverNewsLive — your new online portal for local news, sports, weather, and tourist info, powered by the B97.5 News Team!
Fast, local, updated daily… because you deserve more than yesterday’s headlines.

📸 CALLING ALL LOCAL PHOTOGRAPHERS & SPORTS FANS!
If you love snapping great photos or want to help report on local sports online, message me! We’d love to feature local talent and voices from across our communities.

📍 Proudly serving:
Twin Pikes • Northern Lincoln & Ralls (MO)
Brown • Greene • Scott • Calhoun • Southern Adams • Western Morgan (IL)

B97.5 — Local FIRST. Local DAILY. Local ALWAYS.

What Makes B97.5 Different? 🌟

In a world full of noise, B97.5 is here to bring you something deeper — something that goes beyond playlists and headlines.

Every single day, we’re committed to giving you the news, sports, weather, and information you need… but we don’t stop there.
At B97.5, we believe radio should enlighten, encourage, and inspire.

🙌 Although we are not a radio station that has Christian programming outside of early morning and Sundays, we are very much a radio station with Christian values. God is at the center of everything we do.
From our community outreach to the programming we choose, we want every moment on our airwaves to reflect love, hope, joy, and unity.

While some stations focus heavily on sports in one state, our focus is YOU — our community.
We’re here to lift up both sides of the Twin Pikes and the surrounding area, to bring people together, and to shine God’s love through everything we broadcast.

🎙️ Our on-air personalities are fun, lighthearted, genuine, and never offensive — because your day should be filled with smiles, not stress.

💛 That’s what sets B97.5 apart.
We’re not just another station.
We’re a family.
We’re a light.
And we’re honored to be part of your day — every day.

B97.5 — Joy. Community. Faith. B975radio.com

This is not good for our local farmers and many businesspeople. I personally know many people in Pike County and in our region who are growing safe and legal h**p as a cash crop with the THCA under the loophole in the 2018 farm bill. This was stuffed into the bill to reopen the government and it is unfair to many farmers and local businesspeople who have invested a LOT of money in this industry doing things legal and correct. I almost worked on WBBA with a gentleman who has built up a business that employs several people in the county who would become out of work. I am speaking on this subject purely on the basis of people who have invested a lot of money to build business based on something that was made legal only to have it yanked away that is not fair to those people in any way.

Nearly all h**p businesses in the U.S. are in mortal danger after Congress redefined h**p to outlaw h**p-derived THC.

Its a rough world out there. Be kind.

Happy World Kindness Day! 🌎💛
At our art center, we see every day how kindness fuels creativity and connection. Encouraging words, shared supplies, and patient moments help everyone to grow. Today, we celebrate the power of gentle hearts, generous hands, and communities that lift one another up. Our world needs more people to step out of their comfort zone and show up for each other. Struggles are easier to bear when we come together.

Let’s keep spreading kindness like paint on a canvas—bright, bold, and full of hope.
