WXK20 (sometimes referred to as Paris All Hazards) is a NOAA Weather Radio station that serves Paris and surrounding areas near the Red River. It is programmed from the NWS Fort Worth office with its transmitter located in Paris. It broadcasts weather and hazard information for Delta, Fannin, Franklin, Hopkins, Hunt, Lamar, Red River, & Titus counties in Texas and Bryan & Choctaw counties in Oklahoma.
Throughout early 2009, all NOAA Weather Radio Stations within the North Texas region (including WXK20) began airing a monthly 5 minute talk show titled "The Lightning Bolt" where listener-submitted questions related to weather are answered by meteorologists.
