WSOC-TV

The State Board of Education said last week that it would be reviewing the district and also assisting the state investigations into CMS.

Our partner station, WSOC in Charlotte, has reported that questions have been raised about the school district's handling of money that is supposed to help exceptional children.

Livingstone College in Salisbury is confirming the death of a student on campus.

According to the post on social media, the student had been receiving treatment for a medical condition, but despite efforts to provide care, that student passed away.

We got like about three, so get ready.

Con Knipple got an interview from the WSOC broadcast for the local broadcasting stations for the Charlotte Hornets games, and it was talking about his... playing basketball during the summer with his brothers, something that you guys can check out at any point in time.

So I'll let you guys check it out from there.

Sam Pearly wrote out some articles from Charlotte for the Charlotte Hornets PR team, especially on the website.

That's fair enough.

Catch one of us on WSOC before the game as well.

Oh, you yourself?

I think so.

Great.

You, you've showed up on WSOC one time.

Sometimes I got to sub an in for you.

So-

the money for consultants, the money for nonprofits like Racky McGregor's.

Joe Bruno's report at WSOC-TV goes on to say it's unclear if the board entered into this agreement and if board members knew of Racky McGregor's pitch.

Some of them have said they did not.

The proposal became public record because the attorney, get this, the attorney for Pointer Spruill, a woman by the name of Katie Cornetto, She emailed Racky McGregor's CMS email account.

I still have all the show prep, okay? Although now, thank you, Danny, for sending along the latest.

This from WSOCTV.com. By Joe Bruno, just a few sentences, which is what happens when you got breaking news and you don't really know a whole lot about what's going on.

You've just discovered some piece of information, so you rush to put it out.

So here's what we have now.

But there's another deal that has been announced, actually a couple of them, over the last couple of weeks that we wanted to touch on.

Now, you probably heard earlier WSOC and Channel 64 locally here in the Queen City and Charlotte are going to be the homes for Hornets basketball you know depending on the schedule map for those stations will determine which one it lands on but fans locally will have access to Hornets basketball throughout the season that was a big deal Rob but the big question we got on top of that is like okay what if I don't live in Charlotte because as we spoke about earlier you know one of the powers that the RSNs had you could widen the coverage map and you could reach into different markets maybe a little bit more easily without having to strike additional deals that was an advantage they had the disadvantage is if the rsn and your carrier weren't getting along or didn't have an agreement in place you were locked out you had no option and you were blacked out because league pass rules required if you were in the local market you have a local subscription but you might have been one of those local subscribers who didn't have the ability to purchase.

So we felt your pain, we heard your comments, and now we're stepping into a new era of Hornets television broadcast that is very much fan-forward, fan-first, that's going to allow everyone to be able to tune in and watch the great work of Eric Collins, Dale Curry, and Shannon Spake, and as importantly, more importantly, see the great work of the Hornets players and coaches.

out there on the floor.

So there were huge pockets of fans who either based off their current subscription pattern or where they lived or what was going on.

did not have access to Hornets basketball.

And that has been remedied, we believe, with this overall configuration of deals, both through DAZN, through Gray Media, through WSOC, of course, League Pass helping out nationally in terms of delivering deals.

great Hornets basketball and the great work of Eric Collins and Dell Curry to the masses.
