CFN 13 Ready for its Big Screen Debut

Roger Simmons, February 3, 2006

As part of its move to new downtown digs in December, Central Florida News 13 promised to make its presence known in its new neighborhood. And it’s already starting to do so.

The station has erected a big screen — 10-feet-by-10-feet, or maybe 12-by-12 — on the side of the Wachovia building facing Orange Avenue and directly across from popular Wall Street Plaza. As of yesterday, no one had pushed the "on" button, but that should come soon. And it looks like it will be pretty cool.

As reported earlier, the station also plans to create an electronic headline crawl on the other side of the building on Central Avenue.

Orlando’s local TV stations are so obsessed over Casey Anthony — especially now that it’s sweeps — maybe they just all need a hug? Sentinel TV Guy Hal Boedeker takes the local stations to task for overplaying a story about Anthony attorney Jose Baez hugging Casey twice while in jail. Boedeker wrote:…
