WBRC is taking viewers behind-the-scenes and to a different media platform in celebration of 75 years of TV news through the podcast WBRC 75: The stories that shaped our state.
One of the greatest coaches in college football history arrived in Tuscaloosa in 2007 when Nick Saban agreed to become the head coach for the Alabama Crimson Tide. Coach Saban created a dynasty in 17 seasons in Tuscaloosa, winning more than 200 games, nine SEC titles, and six National Championships. WBRC's Jeh Jeh Pruitt, Mike Dubberly and former sports producer Brian Pope reflect on Saban's hiring, and how much his coaching tenure impacted Tuscaloosa and the state of Alabama.
Many of you remember exactly where you were on April 27, 2011...one of the most devastating weather days in our state's history. More than 250 people tragically lost their lives, while thousands more were injured. That day, 62 tornadoes touched down across Alabama, leaving building and homes shattered and destroyed in it's wake. Three people who remember that day all too well are WBRC First Alert Weather meteorologists Wes Wyatt, J-P Dice, and Fred Hunter. These weather experts not only remember the moment these storms happened, but also how neighbors came together to help each other during a difficult time.
