But what do you get a city that’s celebrating a full century of sunshine, stories, and South Florida style? In this special centennial episode, we’re honoring one of Hollywood’s own — a hometown talent who traded our palm-lined boulevards for the glitz of Hollywood, California.

After more than 60 years as a major TV network affiliate, WPLG Local 10 boldly stepped away to reinvent itself as an independent powerhouse in Miami-Fort Lauderdale broadcasting. What really happened behind the scenes? Why now? And what does this bold move mean for the future of local television in South Florida?
