( ONE OF THE OLDEST TRADITIONS IN IMPERIAL COUNTY CONTINUES THIS TUESDAY)….ELECTION NIGHT COVERAGE HAS BEEN A TRADITION ON KXO RADIO SINCE THE STATION WENT ON THE AIR IN 1927. FOR THE PAST 33 YEARS THE COVERAGE HAS BEEN LIVE FROM THE COUNTY ELECTION DEPARTMENT, AND FOR THE PAST 33 YEARS THE COVERAGE HAS BEEN PROVIDED BY GENE BRISTER AND CARROL BUCKLEY. IN THOSE YEARS, BUCKLEY AND BRISTER HAVE MISSED JUST ONE ELECTION EACH. THIS YEAR WILL BE NO DIFFERENT. COVERAGE STARTS TUESDAY NIGHT AS SOON AS THE POLLS CLOSE. BRISTER SAYS HE EXPECTS REPORTS ON ABSENTEE BALLOTS TO BEGIN AT AROUND 8:30 IN THE EVENING. KXO BEGAN WEBCASTING ELECTION RESULTS IN 2000. THIS WAS A FIRST FOR RADIO IN IMPERIAL COUNTY. THE STATIONS WEBSITE CAN BE MONITORED AT WWW.KXORADIO.COM
