California Oregon Broadcasting Inc.’s KOBI-TV Medford and KOTI-TV
Klamath, Ore., sponsor a year-round initiative, The Southern Oregon
Meth Project, which educates local kids about the dangers of methamphetamines
and their devastating impact on individuals, families and the
community. Based on recent reports, 75 percent of local foster
children are being cared for due to parental absence as a result
of meth abuse. Eight out of 10 area arrests are also related to
the substance. The Southern Oregon Meth Project combats meth through
reality-based television series
and radio ads.
Additionally, KOBI-TV and KOTI-TV staff hold presentations at
local schools and air half-hour specials every quarter to assist
in the effort. Click here
