Urge WTVA television station in Tupelo, Mississippi, to retain its meteorology operation.

This Senate Resolution (SR 7) urges Allen Media Broadcasting, the owner of WTVA Channel 9 in Tupelo, Mississippi, to retain its local meteorology team. It does not create new law but requests the station maintain on-site weather forecasting, citing historical examples where local storm coverage saved lives during tornadoes in 2014 and 2023. The resolution emphasizes that community trust in WTVA’s local reporting cannot be replaced by remote weather updates. As a non-binding resolution, it has no legal force but aims to influence the station’s operational decisions.
