WSPR News Stories
I began a news series of news stories “from” WSPR, Springfield’s TV station. They both report on events in Springfield through the years and let us know that life in Springfield is continuing even if we can’t see them. They are listed below in the order they were originally uploaded. First is the direct link to the YouTube video, second is a link to the post about each video with more information, and third will be a clip, if any, that shows the storyline or event the news story is related to. Sharon Scott is a fictional reporter that I invented. She didn’t appear on the show.
