KSMQ sets its sights on Rochester with its weekly program, “R-Town.” As one of the economic engines of the KSMQ viewing area, Rochester is brimming with business, cultural and historical significance. And of course there is also great change taking place as a result of the Destination Medical Center project. What is Rochester talking about? Join Nicole Nfonoyim-Hara each week as we take a trip to “R-Town.”
Fridays at 8:00 p.m. Saturdays at 4:30 p.m. and Sundays at 1:30 p.m.
