WBS-TV will present a special program on July 12 at 7 p.m. celebrating the 40th anniversary of its Family 2 Family initiative.
WSB-TV launched Family 2 Family in 1986, according to a press release. Family 2 Family is an initiative meant to explore issues facing Georgia families via WSB-TV’s news service, as well as give back to the community.
“We began Family 2 Family with a commitment to the issues that matter most, and that commitment is just as strong today as it was forty years ago,” said WSB-TV President Marian Pittman.
The July 12 program will focus on the initiative’s primetime specials over the years, its support for local nonprofits, and its weekly People 2 People program, a community-focused segment that airs on Sundays.
The special will also take a closer look at community outreach efforts like Convoy of Care, which helps deliver supplies and relief after natural disasters, and Stuff the Bus, which helps collect school supplies for kids in need.
“From helping families during times of need to supporting the next generation, Family 2 Family continues to reflect WSB-TV’s long-standing commitment to the people and communities it serves,” said WSB-TV Director of Community & Public Affairs Condace Pressley.
