Children First
The Children First campaign in Aiken-Augusta delivers positive and action-oriented messages to children and their parents and families. We hope to help kids overcome the obstacles that inhibit their growth and learning potential by stressing what each adult can do to help them. The Children First message stresses that “there IS something each of us can do, to help children”.
Out There Somewhere
“Out There Somewhere” is a local franchise created by WJBF senior reporter George
Eskola. In the late eighties, George was charged by then-news director Pete
Michenfelder to find some human interest stories in our viewing area, beyond
metro Augusta. George and his photographer went “Out There” and has been doing
it ever since. Highlights include his first sojourn into “Scandinavian” South
Carolina, in Denmark and visits to Ninety-Six and Santa Claus Georgia. WJBF News
Channel 6 recognizes Out There Somewhere as a positive and often memorable way to
close out the news every Friday. Out There Somewhere has won numerous awards for
excellence in Feature News Storytelling.
