Transparent. Built for the people we serve. Connecting the City with the Country
Northeast Radio SD is a modern, grassroots media organization dedicated to the heartbeat of Watertown and the surrounding Northeast South Dakota region. Built on the belief that local news should be accessible, authentic, and accurate, we bridge the gap between traditional community values and the digital future. Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to deliver hyperlocal news, weather, and storytelling that keeps our neighbors informed and our local economy thriving. We operate with a community‑first mentality, ensuring that every report, interview, and broadcast serves the people who call this region home. The Northeast Radio SD Experience
As Watertown’s first 100% digital radio hub, Northeast Radio SD brings “The Positive Pulse” of South Dakota to listeners everywhere. The Sound: A curated mix of hits from the 90s, 2000s, and 2010s — a familiar, upbeat soundtrack for your day. The Content: Live, local updates; legislative reports; community spotlights; and real conversations that matter. The Reach: With dedicated mobile apps and a 24/7 web stream, we keep you connected whether you’re in the field, on the road, or at your desk downtown. Our Reporting Philosophy
Integrity is the foundation of our work. Led by News Broadcaster Steve Jurrens, our newsroom prioritizes clarity, accuracy, and objectivity. We deliver straightforward, jargon‑free information that respects our audience’s time and intelligence. While we remain unbiased in our reporting, we are proudly optimistic about the growth and future of the Watertown area. A Partner for Local Growth
We believe in the power of local business. Through Northeast Radio SD, we offer brand partnerships that go beyond traditional advertising — creating editorial‑style content that resonates with our audience and drives real results for local entrepreneurs, community organizations, and development partners. Northeast Radio SD: Independent. Local. Digital.
