SurfKY News has announced the addition of Lee and Dustin Bratcher to the SurfKY family, as well as adding Ohio County to the SurfKY coverage area.
The Bratchers operated the Ohio County Monitor in Beaver Dam for over three years and will now bring their knowledge and experience to SurfKy News to better cover the Third Region.
"We are excited to have Lee and Dustin on board with SurfKY News Group," said SurfKY President Ron Sanders. "Their unique understanding of Ohio County news as well as the enhancement of our coverage in McLean and Muhlenberg counties, will be a boost to our news offerings. We're sure readers are going to be delighted with the addition."
Muhlenberg, Ohio, Daviess and McLean County residents, businesses, government agencies, schools and law enforcement can submit news and announcements to SurfKY News for publication by sending to lee@surfky.com or dustin@surfky.com.
The Bratchers want their loyal Ohio County readers to expect little changes in the quality of their news and how they get it.
“We feel like joining forces with SurfKY is a win/win proposition,” Lee Bratcher said. “Our Ohio County readers will continue to get quality news from inside and outside the county and we’ll have a chance to help SurfKY broaden its readership.”
In making the transition, Ohio County Monitor readers won’t have much they have to do in order to continue to get their news.
“If you have already have a bookmark to OCMonitor.com, it will automatically direct you to the SurfKY Ohio County page when you click it, once we make the transition,” Dustin Bratcher said. “Also, when we start posting stories to the OCMonitor.com Facebook and Twitter pages, the links will automatically take you to the right place.”
Friday, Nov. 13, will be the last day OCMonitor.com will be updated with stories and posts. On Monday, Nov. 16, the OCMonitor.com domain will be automatically forwarded to the Ohio County section of the SurfKy website.
Lee and Dustin appreciate everyone who played a part in making the Ohio County Monitor a success. From the readers to the advertisers, they made it possible for local news to be made available online to the people of Ohio County.
