Since the New York Times Co. purchased WTKR earlier this year, and made Hale general manager, the station has paid increased atten-1 tion to covering and presenting local news. It added both Saturday and Sunday morning newscasts in July and put more emphasis on local coverage of recent hurricane threats.

Virginia's waters have improved significantly over the last 25 years, with the construction of sewage treatment plants and regulations that reduced industrial pollution.
