Local television news is popular for unique characteristics.

It's fast-paced, prolific, and an easy way for viewers to receive news.

But perhaps above all, it's profoundly mutable. Forever changing.

Blue Ridge Communications TV13, a PENCOR Services Inc. company, has been keeping northeastern Pennsylvanians in touch with its local television news coverage since 1988.  And if there's been one common denominator during each of those 30 years, it's been success in meeting demands of a changing news cycle and the evolution of news content. See Saturday's Times News for a behind-the-scenes look at three decades of BRC13.
