NewsTalk 590 KTIE-AM Partners with Local Businesses to Provide Free Digital Child IDs; Ontario International Airport Hosts First KTIE 590-AM Child ID Event on Thursday, July 20

The first advertiser-sponsored "A Day with NewsTalk KTIE for the Children" is set for Thursday, July 20, 10:30 a.m. -- 2:30 p.m. as part of the Wellness/Safety and Lifestyle Fiesta at the Ontario International Airport, Terminal 1, 1940 E. Moore Way in Ontario. The second planned event will be Saturday, August 5, 11:00 a.m. -- 2 p.m. at Foot EFX, 1362 Industrial Park Avenue in Redlands. Dates, times and locations of "A Day with NewsTalk KTIE for the Children" events are available at www.590ktie.com.

"Our goal is to partner with businesses across the Inland Empire to ID as many children as possible," said Ron Stark, 590 KTIE-AM general sales manager. "As a parent myself, I know the peace of mind that this important information, along with proper child education, can bring to a family."

Using proprietary software, a computer, a camera and microphone, parents compile information on a mini-CD that has the potential to help locate a missing child. The mini-CD contains the child's photograph, a video of the child, photos of the child's identifiable marks, a voice recording, fingerprints, a general physical description and other information. Medical conditions, specific medications, pet names and nicknames can also be recorded. Police can then use the mini-CDs to send quality photographs to law enforcement agencies and media outlets immediately after a child is reported missing.
