This year’s featured towns:
For 2026, NewsChannel 10 will focus on: Portales, Panhandle, Canyon, and Claude.
What viewers can expect:
Each day, NewsChannel 10’s 6:00 p.m. newscast will transition into Summer Celebration coverage around 6:20–6:30 p.m. From that point forward, the broadcast will be dedicated to the town of the day, with content focused entirely on that community.
Week-at-a-glance schedule:
- Monday: Summer Celebration LIVE in Portales on the ENMU campus
- Tuesday: Summer Celebration focus on Panhandle
- Wednesday: Summer Celebration LIVE in Canyon on the WTAMU campus
- Thursday: Summer Celebration focus on Claude
What’s included each day:
Each town spotlight will include features such as:
- Economic drivers and local industry
- History and community identity
- Good News with Doppler Dave Oliver
- Ruben on the Road feature
- Live interviews, community voices, and more
LIVE event details:
The LIVE events are hosted by the local universities and City leaders and will include food trucks, non-profits, community leaders, and more onsite. Residents are invited to come out, join the celebration, and be part of the live broadcast—NewsChannel 10 would love to meet the community and share those faces and stories with the rest of the viewing area.
Why NewsChannel 10 does this:
NewsChannel 10 is committed to serving the entire viewing area. Too often, rural coverage can be limited to tough news events or sports. Summer Celebration is an intentional break in the cycle—a chance to showcase the good things happening in rural communities and the meaningful stories that deserve attention.
Who will be there:
Lindsey Stiner, Doppler Dave Oliver, Shelden Brashears, Zack Woodard, and the NewsChannel 10 team will be on site for the LIVE events.
“We look forward to carrying on a 25+ year tradition and telling our area stories and Celebrating Summer with everyone.”

Kisha has been a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) since 2019. As an accountant by trade with an MBA, and a busy mother of three, she intimately understands the realities of high-stress environments, information overload, and the physical toll of a sedentary lifestyle.
Her approach is rooted in the deep understanding that complete healing must be holistic. Because our emotions and past stresses are stored directly in our physical tissues, we cannot simply think or talk our way into peace—true healing requires us to move the body. Kisha firmly believes in this “bottom-up” approach to therapeutic wellness; because the body keeps the score, addressing our well-being solely from the top down leaves the picture incomplete.
This series was born out of her personal journey using movement, breathwork, and meditation to release stored tension, navigate intense stress, find deep healing, and reclaim safety within herself. Kisha blends professional precision with deep empathy, creating a welcoming, zero-judgment space where you can step off the hamster wheel of daily life and return home to your body.
