CC Tampa Relatively Unscathed

There was a period under Paxson where both the WHNZ and WZTM staffs actually had people out on the street reporting and people in the back rooms cutting tape and producing packages. A lot of people worked very hard to battle the Jacor beast in those days and did pretty well.

The old Paxson group networked very well. I was doing overnights on The Team, but also did production, headlines for WHNZ, weekends on WHPT etc. Even after moving across the hall to WHNZ, I still did occasional news updates for all the other stations and so it was an efficient use of resources. We could take staff from any of the stations and put them on the street if needed. As one example, I remember towards the end, there was a lot of talk about the Bucs moving out of town. We used talent from The Team to shore up coverage.
 
That was when the Glazers had thought about moving the Bucs to Baltimore, right? I never heard that much about it since I was in the Navy up in Norfolk at the time.
