A fire struck at our NBC sister station, WFMJ-TV (and CW Affiliate WBCB-TV), in Youngstown at 4:15 Wednesday morning, nixing normal broadcasting for the morning show. It's unclear the extent of the damage or the length of the partial service.
The fire was contained to a basement storage room, but smoke damage was extensive. WFMJ's morning show this morning was produced outside building with live news anchor standup presentation, but it was just brief broadcasts.
