1. Text Alerts: The Text Alerts consists of the forwarding of information that has been provided by Global Mobile or our partners to you that you have requested from McClatchy DC. The information will be provided as a text message via your mobile phone carrier to your mobile device.

Text alerts are sent as standard rate, meaning that we do not charge you for the messages but you may be charged by your carrier depending on your messaging plan. You are subscribed to alerts until such time as you return to this site to deactivate them, or reply STOP (nothing else should be in the message) to a message to deactivate that particular alert. If you wish to deactivate all alerts, you can reply to any message with STOP ALL (nothing else should be in the message) and all alerts will be deactivated.
Messages are sent at different frequencies depending on type:

• news alert - as breaking news occurs
• sports alerts - at the end of each game when scores are finalized
• weather forecast alerts - daily in the morning
• lottery alerts - whenever numbers for that lottery are drawn and finalized
• closing alerts - whenever the locations you choose (school, business, etc.) provide the station with information about closings or cancellations

The type of information which you ask McClatchy DC to send you is determined by the selections you make on the website maintained by Global Mobile or McClatchy DC. The Alerts Service is maintained 24 hours a day, but Global Mobile or McClatchy DC does not warrant that the Alerts Service will be uninterrupted or error free.
