WKBN to produce WYTV newscasts

March 29, 2007 Off By pbrtv_admin


The Youngstown Business Journal has learned that New Vision station WKBN will be producing WYTV’s newscasts. The soon to be Parkin Broadcasting station will pay WKBN $750,000 annually for their staff to produce “33 News.” Why not pay the current WYTV staff $750,000 and keep them employed. It would be a lot more logical because both stations usually run newscasts at the same time. I’m actually surprised that they are not phasing out WYTV’s newscast altogether (for even less competition.) Tom Lavery – SVRTV.
