Philly News Block Redirected

By BroadCasting & Cable Staff -- Broadcasting & Cable, 12/17/2000 7:00:00 PM

In the words of its assistant news director, Philly TV News "crashed" last week, leaving about 16 reporters, anchors and photographers looking for work. Philly TV News aired several hours a day over independent WTVE(TV) Reading, Pa. A small staff remains, and General Manager Jim Sweeney says new programming on the station, to be announced in first quarter 2001, will be multicultural entertainment, news and business-oriented local programming. Sweeney called the moves "a real grand-scale redirection."
