Small Town News: KPVM Pahrump

KPVM owner Vern Van Winkle is poised to realize his dream of expanding his small town Pahrump station into Las Vegas. But as the staff discuss the viability of scaling up programming while managing existing deadlines, tensions boil over between news director Deanna ODonnell, co-anchor Eunette Gentry, and the rest of the news team.

Just as election season takes KPVM by storm, the Trump campaign comes to town. Though Deanna, Eunette, and Missy try their best to maintain neutrality and ensure both sides of the aisle are represented, Verns conservative views take centerstage. Meanwhile, weatherman John dons several hats as reporter, technician, and fill-in host of the stations recurring "Save a Pet" segment.

On election night, the team gets creative to ensure their live coverage goes off without a hitch, and Deanna winds up hosting with vocal Republican Vern, despite her efforts to strike a neutral tone.
