Rim Country Visitor's Guide

COMMUNITY PROFILE
COMMUNICATION & MEDIA
In addition to the communication re-
sources from the rest of the state, most national
publications are available for home delivery or
stand sales. Internet providers, cable and satel-
lite television service, digital phone connection,
and ﬁber optic services are available in Arizona
Rim Country.
For a small community, sources of infor-
mation in Arizona Rim Country are relatively
extensive. We are served by three newspapers,
the Payson Roundup which publishes twice a
week on Tuesdays and Fridays, the Rim Ga-
zette which is published on Thursdays, and the
Arizona Patriot which is published monthly. We
also have three local radio stations, KMOG-
WEATHER
AM, KRIM-FMLP, KCMA-FMLP.
