Today on TPT: Fall Election Preview

TEXAS POLITICS TODAY is your weekly source for information, insight and inspiration about Texas state and local politics. As we enter the last five weeks of the most interesting campaign season in a generation, we’re looking at the most important and interesting contests on the ballot.

Our guest today is Karen Brooks from the Dallas Morning News. Karen has been with the DMN almost five years, and before that was with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. She’s been covering the Texas Legislature for over a decade, with a focus on key House and Senate races. Join us for a lively analysis.

Also, this week we’re back in KOOP’s studios on Airport Boulevard. As everyone knows, KOOP suffered a fire at its new studios in January of this year. Thanks to a huge effort from our dedicated volunteers, we are back in our home studios only eight months after the disaster. Many thanks also to the wonderful people at Entercom Communications and its Austin radio stations, who hosted us during our exile.

TEXAS POLITICS TODAY is the weekly radio show devoted to Texas state and local politics. TEXAS POLITICS TODAY is produced by longtime Capitol insider Deece Eckstein, who shares hosting duties with Austin community leader David Kobierowski.

KOOP, “the little station that could,” is Austin’s only community-owned radio station. It shares the FM 91.7 radio frequency with KVRX, the University of Texas student radio. It also streams live over the Web at http://www.koop.org/. KOOP is on the air on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and on weekends from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
