With the COVID-19 pandemic dominating the thoughts of many people, MyComoxValleyNow.com and 98.9 Jet FM have been reaching out to local officials to discuss the issue. We have endeavoured to speak with someone new each day. That person will be interviewed live during Montana Mornings with Pete and Robyn.
After that, the interviews will be posted here daily so that you can go back and listen to them in their entirety. It’s all part of our efforts here to help get as much information about our local response to the pandemic as possible out to you, our valued audience.
