A third of Nevada small businesses use TikTok. If it goes away, how would that affect Nevada?
In just over 10 weeks, TikTok could be gone — really gone. You won’t be able to watch it, use it, do anything with it unless the company that owns it can find a non-Chinese buyer.

You might not think much about data centers, but they’re a pervasive part of your life.

If there's anyone who appreciates Nevada Public Radio please consider a donation. If it's within your budget, an ongoing donation really helps them plan long term.
As a very swingy swing state I think there are some national reporters & orgs who benefit from 88.9 knpr's local takes.
Thank you.

I chatted with Mike Prevatt on KNPR's State of Nevada about movies from Las Vegas filmmakers JT Mollner and Julia Marchese.
Las Vegas filmmakers garner attention, acclaim with new movies
Movie studios may be years off from building sound stages in Las Vegas, but local filmmakers are still creating work here and elsewhere. And two of them are making big splashes in the industry.

I ADORE my local NPR affiliate 88.9 @knpr.org, located on the campus of the College of So. Nevada (CSN). 5 days/wk they produce a hyper local program & podcast called State of Nevada which often features Las Vegas content. It's a real gem in this community.
