"Speak Out" is an expression of opinion from the Editorial Board of WBTV, and is presented by General Manager, Nick Simonette.
Hello…We're the current members of WBTV's Editorial Board.
Through the year, we suggest, debate, and write editorials on any number of topics.
These range from questioning our local government and the School Board…
to encouraging those who've lost their jobs or been victims of violence…
to saluting our soldiers and others who make our community a better place to live.
To be honest, the subjects we tackle are often quite serious.
There's so much, it seems, we need to work on.
It's so hard for people to get along.
But we always look forward to this time of year.
The Christmas Season…a season of hope…
A month when adversaries put aside their differences.
A time for dropping a few bucks in the kettle…
a time to buy toys for children we'll never meet…
a time to share good food and laughter with family and friends.
All built around the child whose birth we celebrate on Christmas Day, Jesus Christ.
OUR hope is that you will find love, peace, comfort, and joy on THIS Sunday and throughout the new year.
From all of us at WBTV, "Merry Christmas."
