Giving back in Duluth Minnesota!
Pictures from our visit to Duluth’s Park Point to clean up trash as part of Minnesota Broadcasters Association's Broadcasters Week of Kindness. Sad to see so much littering, but feels good to clean it up. Could have spent all day doing it. Reporter Emily Halling got the sweet gig volunteering at a Cat Cafe. :) Coastal Television Broadcasting Group LLC FOX 21 News, KQDS-TV
Team Coastal in Meridian is going for the Gold!
We had a great day today as the team at WMDN/WGBC participated in our first client drafts! The goal was to even out some of the clients, and for each team to own their "players". Thanks for the great idea David Baer, totally stole it from him! Here's to kicking off the Olympics and the new "season"!!
