Breaking News: KNOM to Broadcast in Morse Code Only!

Big changes are coming to KNOM Radio! After years of embracing modern technology, the station has decided to return to its roots—starting next week, all broadcasts will be in Morse Code. Dot-dot-dash-dash!

KNOM leadership insists this is a “bold move” to reconnect with traditional communication methods. Listeners are encouraged to brush up on their Morse Code skills or, if needed, “just listen closely and guess what’s being said.”

Still not convinced? The new call-in show “Beep Beep, What Did They Say?” will allow listeners to decode live on air.

April Fools! Don’t worry! KNOM will keep bringing you the news, stories, and voices you love, loud and clear. But wouldn’t it be fun to learn a little Morse Code anyway?
