On Wednesday, March 14th a group of seniors took a trip to KTEN Studios and was given a tour from News director Brandon Agans to get a little behind the scenes. Seniors learned the amazing amount of work put into making sure people get to watch the news. They had the opportunity to sit through their midday show and experience the news in person from either the control room or the news studio! Thank you KTEN.
