TV Station Goes Green

WPEC-TV “goes green” with world’s first all-LED broadcast studio WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Nov. 20, 2008 – In a challenging economy, there has never been a better time to adopt energy-efficient, cost-saving solutions. WPEC-TV, Freedom’s CBS television affiliate in West Palm Beach, did so in "illuminating" fashion by becoming the first station the world to replace all its tungsten lighting fixtures with LED (Light Emitting Diode) fixtures. The new flat-panel lighting saves WPEC $5,000 a month in electricity costs and earned the station a prominent industry award. Who is next? In this cautious environment, who are the companies that have the guts to invest in cleaner, greener ways? Please comment.
