KELY to again broadcast the February 11 County Commission Meeting LIVE

KELY to again broadcast the February 11 County Commission Meeting LIVE

Author: Wyatt Cox February 9, 2026 Duration: 1:00
After a lot of thought and prayer on Friday and Saturday, I've chosen to, once again, broadcast Wednesday's regularly scheduled County Commission meeting.

This was a difficult decision strongly opposed by Melvin, but the people need to hear what their Commissioners are doing in public. There are elections coming for two seats on this Commission, and we cannot take our eyes off what this Commission is doing for a second. Accountability to the public and the citizens matters. They are acting in their own personal interests and not in the interests of the majority of the citizens who elected them.

As a broadcast station, KELY is licensed to serve in the Public Interest, Convenience, and Necessity. Broadcasting these meetings not only fulfills those requirements, but it is the right thing to do.

We thank our advertisers who understand this is what we are obligated to do, and your support of those advertisers is appreciated. 

Tune in to KELY 1230AM/98.5 FM News and Commentary, where host Wyatt Cox brings the distinct perspective of rural Nevada directly to your ears. This isn't a repackaged national feed; it's the original broadcasts from the station's airwaves in Ely, offering a grounded take on events that matter to the community and beyond. You'll hear straightforward local reporting blended with Wyatt's own analysis, creating a conversation that feels both immediate and considered. While the signal travels across the high desert on 1230 AM and 98.5 FM, this podcast makes that same content portable and personal, available whenever you need a clear-eyed update. It captures the texture of local radio-the urgency of breaking news alongside thoughtful commentary-without requiring you to be within range of the tower. For anyone interested in how broader stories resonate in a specific place, or for those who simply miss the feel of authentic local broadcasting, this series provides a consistent and reliable source. It’s the sound of a particular corner of the American West, discussing its present and future. Each episode delivers the complete segment as it was heard by terrestrial listeners, preserving the flow and spontaneity that makes radio unique. Follow along with Wyatt Cox for daily insights that are rooted in place yet relevant far beyond the county line.
