Special to The Detroit News
Detroit’s oldest television station continues its 75th-anniversary celebration with a new two-hour documentary that hones in on a special era in its history.
Debuting Friday, “Going 4 It. The Inside Story of the Rise of WDIV” shares the station’s decades-long history but focuses on the years between 1978 and 1985, an era when Local 4 regained its footing and became one of the most trusted stations in Detroit.
“If you think about great documentaries, they focus on a narrow topic or a narrow window of time and tell that story deeply,” said Bob Ellis, the station’s vice president and general manager.
