#ArdmoreOK has officially removed the "interim" from the #police chief's title.

David Houser was mysteriously fired from his last job in Durant in 2022 before being selected to replace the former Ardmore police chief in 2023 after that one was mysteriously fired.

"One of the things I'd like to continue to do here is take care of our officers,” Houser told #KXII after being sworn in. “In order to maintain trust and relationships, that builds upon transparency and accountability."

Maybe it's just me, but when I'm checking out local #journalism regarding a community meeting I like to see how many members of the community actually showed up.

#KXII is talking about people in #ArdmoreOK like they're potholes or nonworking streetlights.

And as usual, not a single person without regular shelter was interviewed for this story. Apparently to understand homelessness, you talk to business owners, police, and one person trying to help.

Ardmore residents getting frustrated as homeless hang around Central Park

Homelessness is growing across America, according to a report from Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies.

KXII

Since none of y'all likely get to watch #texoma broadcast news, let me tell you #KXII broke a story about another alleged speeding violation by #CarterCountyOK Sheriff Chris Bryant.

The station obtained bodycam footage from an #ArdmoreOK police stop a few days ago, I'm still waiting on the full story to go on their website.

The backup transmitter is obviously a lifesaver, but I'll be glad to see them at full power.

A slight rotation of my aerial antenna has helped, but now the other network broadcaster #KXII comes in a little sketchy.

#PBS, however, is always rock solid. #OETA
