A two-day special edition of the home shopping will be live on air on KCII next week. Listeners can tune in from 9 a.m. to noon and 1-5 p.m. on Tuesday May 19th and Wednesday May 20th for the home shopping special edition.

KCII General Manager Joe Nichols shares this is a good opportunity for area businesses and their customers, “One of the things that I’ve been hearing is they want to find ways to get maybe gift certificates in people’s hands so that when they’re able to fully reopen those customers can come in. And help our clients by also getting them some advertising to use to tell people what they’re doing right now, how they’re operating, and you know give them that opportunity to tell people what they’re doing and invite them into their business. And it’s also a great thing for the listeners and their customers. You know it has been a struggle for some, there are some people who are fortunate they’ve been able to continue to work, but others haven’t. So, having an opportunity to get some of these items with their local businesses at a discounted price we feel is going to be helpful for the consumer out there.”

To make a purchase live on air call 653-4513. Nichols adds people will see similar certificates and products as you would during the traditional Home Shopping Extravaganza events with more of a local focus.

Pick up will be on Friday and Saturday and if the weather is cooperating then it will be done outside of the station at the Big Red Radio so people can practice social distancing with a curbside pickup. Also KCII will be offering a no-contact way to get your items, people can mail a check for the total amount to KCII or pay with a card over the phone, and then we’ll mail the certificates back to you.
