About 88.9 KETR
Since 1975, the primary function of listener-supported, non-profit 88.9 KETR has been to provide our community with news, information, ideas, culture, and citizenship that will benefit our community and inspire it to grow, learn, and prosper.
KETR’s 100,000 watt FM signal can generally reach nearly 80 miles in all directions out from Commerce, TX. The quality of the signal can sometimes be affected by topographical anomalies like lakes or hills, but KETR’s been heard consistently in Hugo, OK, Canton, TX, Garland, TX, Mt. Vernon, TX, and all areas in between.
