About KNN:
KNN was established in November 1998 and is the only daily-updated county-based news service of its kind in the country. We have steadily increased our viewership over that time to the point where we are recognised as the most significant new media publisher in the region.

The proprietors of KNN are Brian Byrne and Trish Whelan, who between them have several decades of experience in journalism, PR, broadcasting and publications design.

Last month (May 2000), KNN received over 100,000 hits, 80% of them from Kildare viewers within Ireland (therefore from within the county itself).
