The Local Wire.
A small town rarely has a newsroom of its own, so staying informed here means knowing where to look. Below is a live feed from the local paper, the Spokane TV and radio stations, and a full, neutral directory of news sources for Reardan and the region.
The wire
Live headlines from the Lincoln County Record-Times, the community weekly that covers Reardan, Davenport, Odessa, Harrington, Edwall, and Sprague. Updated automatically each time the page loads.
Headlines are pulled automatically from the paper’s public feed and are not selected or edited by Discover Reardan. Read full stories at odessarecord.com.
Local television
Reardan sits in the Spokane television market. These are the region’s broadcast news stations, with their over-the-air channels and network affiliations. Coverage spans eastern Washington and North Idaho.
Local radio
When the power flickers or the roads get bad, radio still carries. These stations reach the Reardan area over the air, and a NOAA weather radio is worth keeping for winter storms and wildfire season.

Keeping the wire running
The Local Wire refreshes on its own each time the page loads. A couple of notes on how it works and how to keep it reliable.
How it works
The feed reads the local paper’s public RSS and displays the latest headlines in a self-contained frame, so it keeps working even inside WordPress. If the feed is ever briefly unavailable, the wire shows a short message with a direct link to the paper instead of breaking.
For the site owner
The most robust way to run a live feed in WordPress is the built-in RSS block, which fetches on the server with no third-party dependency. Add an RSS block pointed at https://www.odessarecord.com/rss. The embedded wire here is a self-contained alternative; edit its source to change the feed or add your own proxy.
