Times, Clear Channel to combine efforts on storm coverage

The St. Petersburg Times and Newsradio 970 WFLA will cooperate on hurricane coverage during this year’s storm season. Under the news-sharing agreement, Times journalists will present audio reports on 970 WFLA and seven other stations Clear Channel owns in the Tampa Bay market.

Coverage will begin when a hurricane threatens and continue through recovery and cleanup. Both organizations will promote the arrangement.
