Jane Jackson Anchors 18 WJTS Newscast Feb. 10; Kurt Gutgsell Sports

Jane Jackson anchored the full 18 WJTS newscast posted for February 10, 2026, with sports coverage by Kurt Gutgsell. The station’s online newscast page links viewers to full news and sports segments on its YouTube channel and lists region items for the day, including local events, school and community coverage, and high-school sports highlights.

The broadcast page identifies the station as 18 WJTS-TV and serves Dubois County, Spencer County, Pike County, and Daviess County. Production credits on the site note "Stock media provided by Pond5" and weather data "Powered by the Tomorrow.io Weather API," underscoring the station’s mix of locally produced content and third-party data and assets. The site also provides direct contact points for residents: phone (812) 482-2727, mailing address P.O. Box 1009, Jasper, IN 47547, studio at 458 3rd Avenue, Jasper IN 47546, and gm@dcbroadcasting.com as an editorial contact.

Regional items linked on the Feb. 10 page carry immediate local significance. The Petersburg Polar Plunge is scheduled for February 28 at Prides Creek Park, and the Dale Kiwanis annual pancake breakfast is set for March 7th. A more time-sensitive public-works item listed on the site details a Jasper water main break repair underway for College Ave and Meridian Rd. That repair, while described only as "Repair Underway" on the post, can have short-run impacts for households and small businesses that depend on uninterrupted water service and local traffic flow; residents and proprietors near College Ave and Meridian Rd should monitor WJTS updates or contact the station for further details.

The newscast’s availability on YouTube and the station site reflects broader distribution trends for small-market broadcasters: local television content increasingly reaches audiences via digital platforms, reducing barriers for residents who now expect on-demand access to school boards, community events, and high-school sports highlights. For local advertisers and nonprofit organizers, that shift alters the economics of outreach; event organizers such as Dale Kiwanis and the Polar Plunge can reach wider audiences, while local businesses may find new options for targeted small-audience sponsorships tied to specific segments.

For Perry County viewers and businesses, the practical takeaway is straightforward: stay tuned to 18 WJTS for localized updates, especially on infrastructure repairs like the Jasper water main work, and use the station’s contact lines to confirm event times or service impacts. Jane Jackson’s newscast and Kurt Gutgsell’s sports segment keep regional happenings visible across Dubois, Spencer, Pike, and Daviess counties, and the station’s web and social distribution make those items easier to find as community plans and municipal responses evolve.
