Some in Western Kentucky will be getting a new area code

Posted: Updated:
WESTERN KY (WFIE) -

Some people in Western Kentucky will be getting a new area code. The Kentucky Public Service Commission is hosting a public forum tonight to tell you about it.  

Kentucky State officials want the chance to tell you about the options for a new area code and how they go about creating one.  

Western Kentucky is running out of phone number combinations, so all or a portion of people living in the 270 area code district could be getting a one.

The Public Service Commission is hosting a special forum tonight at 6 p.m. at the Owensboro Middle School Auditorium.  

This is your chance to hear about the options and to ask questions.

It's the last meeting in our area.  If you can't make it, you can watch a slide show and submit comments online.
