KAIT - Jonesboro, Arkansas
KAIT is the only commercial television station in Jonesboro and serves a
wide area including all of northeastern Arkansas and areas of
southeastern Missouri, a.k.a. ‘Region 8’. With its commitment to local
coverage, the station has invested in sophisticated weather forecasting
and newsgathering equipment resulting in KAIT being competitive with
that of much larger markets. The station recently expanded its facility
with the addition of over 6000 square feet of space devoted to a state
of the art newsroom and a fully digital news studio for live,
high-definition broadcasts.
Ranked 179th in the nation, the Jonesboro market is soon projected to be
the state's second largest city. Jonesboro is home to Arkansas State
University, has the second largest rice processing facility in the
world, and is benefiting from the addition of manufacturing facilities
for Nucor-Yamato Steel, Post Cereals, and Nestlé. On the horizon for
Jonesboro in 2006 will be the opening of the new $100M ‘Mall at Turtle
Creek’ and a new interstate link, I-555, will be nearing completion.
