There’s a new news source for readers north of the state line: ChristianCountyNow.com! We’re excited to launch this local news website, giving readers breaking news, weather, entertainment, business and community information focused on Hopkinsville, Oak Grove and the other communities of Christian County, Kentucky.
The site will focus exclusively on Christian County, giving residents a source for news of their own. Also, ChristianCountyNow.com will be completely free, with no paywalls or paid subscriptions.
It’s part of 5 Star Media Group, which owns the radio stations Beaver 100.3, Q108, Rewind 94.3 and Z97.5, all of which already serve Christian County and the surrounding area. The idea for the website is based on ClarksvilleNow.com, also part of the 5 Star family, which serves local news to Clarksville and Montgomery County.
And since it’s partnered with those radio stations, listeners will hear Christian County Now news updates on Beaver, Q108 and other local stations.
