WKBW-TV announced a partnership with Time Warner Cable on Thursday, April 17 to provide WNY with more local sports coverage in the future. Both stations will be able to expand their coverage as they share resources such as “Super 7 Athlete of the Week” and “High School Sports Roundup”.

Channel 7 decided to make this move as WNY sports fans have a high interest in local college and high school sports which is what Time Warner Sports Net Channel 13 is all about. This can do nothing but help the Channel 7 sports department as they are the lowest rated sports departments out of the three stations in WNY.

You can read the full story and video interview by going to Channel 7’s website at wkbw.com.

There will be a tv taping on Tuesday, April 22 at 12:30 p.m. Ashley Hassett will be hosting the taping. If anyone is interested in being on camera or running a camera or producing or if you just want to watch and see what the tv studio is all about then come on by. All communication and non-communication students are welcome.

Next year the tv studio will be brand new with new equipment and renovations so any interested students should stop by Tuesday to get a feel for the tv studio as we look forward to a brand new studio next year.
