WBOC is installing a solar farm with 2,088 panels in the back lot of their property. It is designed to power their entire facility with 908 kw. Construction should start later this month and end in June.

WBOC is such an interesting station. THE most interesting station out there IMO.

Interesting.  I wonder how many other stations (radio, TV, etc) would consider a solar array.

If they have the space, the driver here seemed to be the last chance to get a 30% federal tax credit - 2019 is the last year you can get the credit.  Stations may set up their own farms if they can get tax breaks locally and perhaps have the ability to sell it back to the grid.

 

The KNTV / KSTS building has been powered by renewable sources since they moved to their current facility.  They don’t have a plant but you buy your energy from renewable suppliers that are hooked to the regular grid.

I notice Tracye Hutchins hasn't been on air for CBS46 in quite some time.

 

Shon Gable (CBS46) has been on medical leave

 

Funny,  Once I posted this Tracye returns to tv the next day.

Do we know that she was even responsible? I wonder how KXII will feel...since they are the sister station of the ones who fired her...

Listen we must watch out for what people are posting on social media. I am 21 and now I have to be careful and that picture was totally unacceptable she drew what was Mandy did. Always remember to be cautious for what people said and how they react

I'm now more dumber for having read this. You clearly don't know the woman JacobC, so put your pitch fork and torch away, sit down and shut up. Show some respect and be glad she found another job. Also, you show clear inability to splice together a coherent thought. Work on it.

I say this with as much respect as I can possibly give you: I think this is a really dumb comment.

KVUE's Mike Barnes hangs up the mic tonight after nearly 30 years at the station. Seems to be kind of a sudden announcement.

Word is he wasn’t renewed. They didn’t announce he was leaving until Friday, the same day he left. People on their Facebook page are mad. 

 

His farewell, if you can call it that, lasted about 5 seconds at the end of the newscast. No through-the-years montage. No long speech. Both the main anchors were off, too. Awkward.

What in the world is going on? I feel like everyone is leaving right away to new positions in different work areas

Here in Columbus, WCMH is planning to celebrate it's 70th anniversary all day Wednesday, with vintage clips during all the newscasts. 

 

Really surprised to see WCMH going all out on this one, apparently, in light of the cuts suffered recently.

Let's see, he's over 50 and works at Tegna. Do the math.

I would not be shocked to see Inside Edition switch stations at this point, probably to WHDH as they could slot that at 7:30 while airing Extra solely at 11:30.

 

Effective today, WHDH's 7:00 newscast has been replaced by Inside Edition. I semi-called this.

Truth be told, Boston did have one 7:00 newscast too many and I think that NBC went in on one for WBTS is a good sign at what NBC will do with the 7:00 slot once Extra leaves in Hartford, NYC, and Philly.

What replaces it on WCVB?
