You may or may not know that, in my past life, I was a TV news producer, which means I watch the local news through a bit of a different lens.
I have to take a moment to shout out the WYFF 4 team, which went on the air at 4 a.m. and reported nonstop all day Sunday. An extra thank you to all those unseen behind the scenes who made that happen.
What they did is hard, and they did it spectacularly.
