You want your business on KETK. Not on a directory, not on a social page, but on ketk.com, the news site East Texas reads from Tyler to Longview to Nacogdoches. This page gives you the complete answer, and it starts with a kind of honesty you will not get from sellers who inflate numbers: this site's authority figures are modest, we print them exactly as they are, and the case for this placement is audience fit rather than raw scale. What follows is the full picture: what the article is, how publishing works step by step, what decides the price, and the one email that starts it.
The short answer: yes, an East Texas business can get featured on KETK
Yes. An East Texas business can be published on KETK through a paid article placement on ketk.com, arranged through us. This is not an East Texas Live booking, and it is not pitching a story to the newsroom and hoping. It is a separate, legitimate route: a sponsored article about your business, labelled as paid content, reviewed by the outlet before it goes live, and permanent once published.
The route is open to the whole region, not only Tyler. A Longview business asking this question gets the same yes as a Tyler one, because both towns are inside the market this station serves. You do not need a PR firm or a media contact. You need a business worth writing about and one email. If you want to compare how outlets handle paid placements first, our guide to which news outlets accept sponsored content lays out the landscape honestly.

What you actually get: your business on East Texas's news site
Picture the finished thing, because that is what you are buying. A live article page on ketk.com carries your business name in the headline and your story in the text: what you do, why you are good at it, and where customers can find you. It sits on the same site, under the same name, that people across East Texas check for news, weather and storm coverage.
Then the article starts working for you in the way local credibility actually converts. You send the link to the customer deciding between you and a competitor two towns away. You put it on the page of your website where trust is decided. You add KETK to the "As Featured On" row of your site, and every visitor understands in one second that the region's own news station published a story about your business. East Texas does business on reputation and recognition, and a permanent article on the region's news site is reputation in written, findable form.
Why KETK carries weight in East Texas
KETK began broadcasting on 9 March 1987, licensed to Jacksonville, and its sign-on is a founding fact of this market: it gave East Texas full affiliates of all three big networks for the first time. The station did not join a finished television landscape. It completed one, and it has been the region's NBC station ever since.
Its production depth shows in the hours. KETK broadcasts 26.5 hours of locally produced newscasts each week, and it also produces 12.5 hours of news a week for the market's Fox station, which means a large share of the local news East Texas watches, on two channels, comes out of this one newsroom on Richmond Road at Loop 323 in Tyler. Its reach is the region's map: Tyler, Longview, Canton, Mineola, Lindale, Gilmer, Kilgore, Athens, Palestine, Jacksonville, Rusk, Nacogdoches and Crockett among the towns it serves.
Now the numbers, printed exactly as they are, because this article's honesty about them is the point. In our outlet directory, KETK carries a Domain Authority of 59 and roughly 282K monthly organic visits. Those are modest figures next to a metro giant's, and we will not round them up or borrow anyone else's. The product here is not raw authority. It is fit: the region's own news site, read by the region's own customers, which is what a Tyler or Longview business is actually buying.
What a sponsored article on ketk.com actually looks like
Let us be precise about the product, because precision is where vague offers fall apart.
The article is a full page on ketk.com itself. It is labelled as paid content, clearly. That labelling is not a weakness in the product; it is what makes the placement legitimate and durable. The article is reviewed by the outlet before it is published, so what goes live has passed the outlet's own check. Once live, the placement is permanent. It does not disappear when a programme airs or a week passes.
The article links to your website, and those links carry sponsored attributes, as paid content rules require. Anyone who promises you a plain editorial dofollow link from a paid placement is describing something that does not exist, and given this site's honest numbers, anyone promising you dramatic search gains from the link is selling you a story. The value is readers and credibility, stated plainly.
One structural note, handled as a reader fact: ketk.com is also the shared online home of the market's Fox 51 newscasts, which this newsroom produces. Your placement lives on the East Texas news site readers actually use, alongside the newscasts from both, which simply means more of the region's attention passes the page your article sits on.
East Texas Live is a TV strand. This is a website article
This distinction matters, because the two are easy to confuse. East Texas Live, the station's midday programme strand, and East Texas In Focus, its interview strand featuring local figures from doctors to officials, are broadcast products. An appearance there is arranged through the station, it airs, and then it ends when the segment ends.
The article is the permanent, searchable, linkable version of that presence: your business's story on ketk.com as its own page, with your own link inside it, findable by the customer searching for what you do long after any segment would have aired. This page sells the article. If a televised appearance is what you want, that is a different arrangement. If what you want is a permanent written feature, you are in the right place.
Who a KETK article is right for, and who should skip it
This placement fits East Texas businesses across the region's towns: healthcare providers, home services, retail and professional firms whose customers live between Tyler, Longview and the smaller towns in between, and who check credibility by name before they spend. If your customers are spread across this region rather than in one city, one article on the region's shared news site meets all of them in the place they already read.
It does not fit a business with no East Texas customers. And a specific word for the business tempted to buy a bigger name instead: Dallas readers are a different market with different outlets, and a Dallas badge does nothing for a customer in Kilgore. Buy the outlet your customers read, not the largest one you can find. We would rather tell you that now than sell you the wrong placement.
How publishing on KETK works, step by step
Step 1: Email us. Write to uzairasad@pressfeature.org with your business name, your website, and what the article should be about. That email is the whole application. There is no form, no account to create, no retainer to sign.
Step 2: Fit confirmation and your quote. We confirm that your business and your topic fit the outlet, and you receive your individual quote for KETK. What decides that quote is covered in the final section below.
Step 3: The article. You can supply the article yourself, or we arrange the writing for you. Either way, the draft goes to the outlet for review before anything is published.
Step 4: Review and go live. KETK reviews the article. Once it is approved, it is published on ketk.com, fast once the review is complete. Your exact timeline is confirmed in your quote before you pay anything.
Step 5: Your live link. You receive the live link to your article. It is yours to send to customers, add to your website, and use in every proposal from that day on.
Your protection is stated plainly, because it is part of the arrangement before you pay anything: payment is in full in advance, and if the article does not go live, you receive a full refund, in writing. There is no version of this where you pay and end up with nothing.
What decides the price, the honest limits, and how to start
There is no public price for a KETK article, and this page is not hiding one to force you into a conversation. The price is set per placement because the deciding factors differ for every business: the scope of the article, whether you supply it or we arrange the writing, the placement specifics, and timing. Every placement is therefore quoted individually, by email, with no obligation to proceed. Our guide to how much a sponsored article costs explains the factor model in full.
The limits, stated plainly. The article is paid content and is labelled as such; it is not editorial coverage and it is not the newsroom endorsing your business. No one can guarantee you search rankings, a traffic figure, or sales from a placement like this, and this site's own authority figures, printed above without dressing, tell you why honesty matters more than hype here. What the article does, permanently, is put a credible, findable page about your business on East Texas's own news site.
If KETK is the outlet your customers read, the next step is a single email. Write to uzairasad@pressfeature.org with your business name, your website, and the story the article should tell. You will get a fit confirmation and your individual quote back. Our services page covers the wider picture of what we do, but the email is how a KETK article actually begins.
