Speaker: Ariel Robin, KETV New Digs

Ariel Robin first visited the Burlington Station in November 2011. Last train was 1974. The building has been unused for 40 years. 
After looking around the community, the Burlington became the choice for KETV’s new home. 
Their Current building is 38000 square feet. The Burlington is 48000 square feet. They plan to leave much of the space open. 
The plan is to go On Air summer of 2015. 

Thank you, Ariel and KETV 7 for renovating the Burlington!
