Messages will include information about specific events, general programs or general information regarding the city of Joplin that would be helpful to residents. The city is also planning to broadcast basic weather information, including the temperature and wind chill factor.

Based out of the Public Information Office (PIO), the service is provided in conjunction with the city manager’s staff and the city’s information systems. As the cable franchise provider, CableOne has a contractual agreement with the City to provide the channel at no cost.
