The last Broadcast Pioneers event took place on Wednesday, July 17th. It was a FREE tour of WPHL, Channel 17. The location is at 5001 Wynnefield Avenue, in Philadelphia. It's only a few minutes from the Bala Golf Club where we have our monthly luncheons.
When we first meet, we announced who will be our 2019 Person of the Year. Plus, we also announced who our 12 living inductees to our Hall of Fame will be for this year. We also revealed the names of our 6 posthumous inductees. These people will be honored at our annual banquet on Friday evening, November 22, 2019 at the Hilton City Avenue. Honorees names listed at the bottom of this story.
PHL 17 does their own morning news program from 4:55 am to 8 am daily. As part of the tour, you saw their air studio with the news set. Plus met the news anchors.
