The following are the TV channels and radio stations the university contacts when there is an announcement to CLOSE the university because of a severe weather emergency.

NO TV OR RADIO ANNOUNCEMENTS ARE MADE WHEN THE UNIVERSITY REMAINS OPEN. However, a message will be placed on the campus information line (405-1000) by 6:00 a.m. to announce that the campus is open, or that normal operation has resumed following a closing for emergency weather conditions.

As soon as a decision is made, the Office of University Relations calls all of the media listed above. Although the university tries to insure that its message is used, it cannot control announcements presented on the radio or TV.
