[BC] Sears tx fire

[Dana Puopolo]

Good TV engineers are hard to find - and this place has a reputation as one
not to work for.

Ironic That they're owned by NBC Hmmm?

WGBO, TV 60 had a minor fire in it's TX room on the 101st floor around 2AM.

They're off the air right now.  It's a Univision station.  They've had CE 
issues the past few years. I don't know the stories, but suffice to say, 
the people I know left involuntarily because of budget cuts. They were 
again looking for a CE not long ago.  I don't know if they found someone. I 
do know the $$ offered were low for a market and station of this size.
