Morris Stations Moving Into The Virtual Future
Group owner Morris Multimedia is outfitting all its stations with virtual sets, citing the economy and flixibility they offer. CEO Dean Hinson: “Each of our stations … put out more than one signal and those second channels each have their own branding.
