Western Massachusetts is about to get another TV station.
The new owner of Springfield's WGGB-TV, John Gormally, says he plans to launch a FOX network affiliate by the end of next month. He says the station will also air a local nightly newscast at 10 p.m.
The new station would give Springfield four commercial TV outlets as well as a PBS affiliate.
Gormally purchased WGGB, an ABC affiliate, from Sinclair Broadcasting last year for $21.1 million. (AP)
