Description
21 News is launching a brand-new news program that will change how in-depth news looks in the Valley. The new show is called '101 West,' named after our news station location here in downtown Youngstown ... 101 West Boardman Street... and it debuts Tuesday, October 17 on WFMJ at 7 p.m. In this 21 News Podcast, managing editor Justin Mitchell, assistant news director Sheila Miller, digital content manager Robert McFerren, and reporter/anchor Madison Tromler, all sat down to talk about the program... what it is, and what future episodes will contain. The first episode takes a deep look at SOBE Thermal Energy Systems, the company looking to bring a new conversion technology taking scrap tires and converting them into electricity for heating and cooling. We also sat down with SOBE CEO David Ferro to hear his plans for the facility. Listen to hear how the longer-format news program will give us a platform for in-depth watchdog reports, profiles of interesting people, and more. This new program is 21 News' commitment to investigative reporting and in-depth stories for the Valley. If you have a story idea for 101 West or a news tip on something you think we should look into, call the newsroom at 330-744-8821 or email at [email protected].
