A monster typhoon is barreling toward a US territory with deadly winds and 25-foot storm surge. By Derek Van Dam, CNN Meteorologist. Published 10:47 AM EDT, Tue May 23. Super Typhoon Mawar is barreling toward Guam on Tuesday, threatening to slam into the US territory as the strongest storm there in more than 60 years. The typhoon, which has strengthened rapidly in recent days, is posing a "triple threat" of devastation including deadly winds equivalent to a category 5 hurricane, exceptional storm surge and torrential rain- fall, according to the National Weather Service office in Guam ... I started replying: I was going to suggest monitoring KTWR & KSDA whether they be blown off both totally worthless for any LOCAL news about Guam. WRTH Update has nothing under Guam. Instead they are mixed in with other TWR and AWR sites under Singapore and USA respectively. If anyone can find or compile KTWR-only or KSDA-only transmission skeds, please do so. Glenn Perhaps most convenient will be EiBi database by time: <http://www.eibispace.de/dx/bc-a23.txt> For KTWR, search on KTWR, to find it is OFF the air between 1630 and 1000. For KSDA, search on GUM-a,which is OFF the air at 1830-2000 and -1000. Not considering day of week variations. So first up will be KSDA at 20-21 UT in Korean on 9890 kHz. Glenn, 1833 UT There is one public radio station, KPRG <http://www.kprgfm.com/main/index.php> and its stream is working <http://peridot.streamguys.com:5090/live> I have not investigated for commercial stations. There are many more utility transmitters which you can find on EiBi by searching merely GUM There are no KiwiSDRs to be found on Guam by searching or on the world map. Glenn I do not see any explicitly local news on the schedule which is UT+10hrs, but I suppose there may be some such inserts during NPR programs such as ATC. Here & Now is currently running at 6-8 am. Glenn <http://www.kprgfm.com/main/index.php?key=schedule> KPRG did not occupy the optional cutaway in NPR news at 1904 UT, but stay- ed with NPR news until 1906 UT. Also, I see that KPRG does not carry NPR Morning Edition which would start around local midnight, but rather BBCWS.

** OKLAHOMA. Lawmakers Override Gov. Stitt's Veto, Extend OETA
Contract
Thursday, May 25th 2023, 4:05 pm By: Haley Weger {with audiovideo}
https://www.news9.com/story/646fcee6aac85008de01f309/lawmakers-override-gov-stitts-veto-extend-oeta-contract
Lawmakers are using the final days of the legislative session to
override Gov. Kevin Stitt’s vetoes. One of the vetoes: to extend the
contract for OETA to continue operating until 2026.
The override ensures that the continuation of the only public TV
station in Oklahoma, which was a big goal of the state legislature
this year.
Both the Oklahoma House and Senate decided to override the governor’s
veto for the OETA bill on Thursday. A bipartisan effort in both
chambers.
The governor vetoed the House bill that would continue funding OETA
earlier this month.
Stitt called OETA an outdated system saying, “I don’t think Oklahomans
want to use their tax dollars to indoctrinate kids."
The governor’s office sent News 9 a list of shows that Stitt deemed
“inappropriate content,” including an episode of “Clifford the Big Red
Dog” that featured the topic of gay marriage.

Lawmakers override Stitt's vetoes, including OETA legislation
Dale Denwalt
Oklahoman
The Oklahoma Legislature fired back at Gov. Kevin Stitt's veto
authority on Thursday, ensuring the continued survival of OETA and
criticizing the governor's "tantrum" earlier this session that led to
20 bills being vetoed.
Cheers broke out in the Oklahoma House of Representatives as lawmakers
approved the bill that reauthorizes OETA as a state entity for at
least another three years. The Senate added its override vote a few
hours later.
In his veto of House Bill 2820 last month, Stitt said he questioned
the public broadcaster's value to the state. He later claimed OETA
"overly sexualizes" children and indoctrinates them.
Asked for proof, he pointed to news programs that discussed
transgender issues and scripted programming that acknowledges the
existence of LGBTQ people.
Thirteen bills were pressed into law Thursday as lawmakers spent hours
undoing the governor's decisions. Some had pointed words for the
governor.
State Sen. Julie Daniels, R-Bartlesville, said Stitt "ignored the
authority of the Legislature" when he vetoed a bill to reauthorize the
board that oversees licensed architects and interior designers.
Stitt also showed "no logical reason or rational thinking" when
vetoing a bill that corrected an error in previously adopted
legislation, said state Sen. Todd Gollihare, R-Kellyville.
During the months-long legislative fight over how to give families a
tax credit for sending their child to private school, the governor
vetoed 20 unrelated Senate bills as retribution for not yet adopting
his tax cut and education plans.
"We're not even dealing with a policy bill, yet here we are today
taking up the time of the Senate to address a veto message that
appears to me to be nothing more than a tantrum," said state Sen.
Chuck Hall, R-Perry.
Senate Floor Leader Greg McCortney referred to the bills as the
"tantrum 20."
"During a recent tantrum, the chief executive of the state indicated
that he did not think it was important for hospice patients who reside
in nursing homes to have quick access to pain medication," said
McCortney, R-Ada, referring to the veto of Senate Bill 249.
Between the House and Senate, lawmakers considered veto overrides on
nearly three dozen bills Thursday, but only 13 were overridden by both
chambers. In total, 32 out of the 46 bills vetoed this year remain in
jeopardy, including legislation on victim protective orders,
McCortney's bill on hospice medicine and modifications to assistance
programs for state employees and disabled Oklahomans.
House lawmakers sustained the governor's veto on legislation that
could have made it more costly to defend against SLAPP lawsuits, or
strategic lawsuits against public participation.
